No. Republicans in the 1990's (and before) were always in favor of universal health care. Check out their party platforms.
They were strongly for it right up until the time a Democrat beat them to it and got something passed in 2010.
And yes, Dell, we all pay for others now - can you simply not understand this reality?

A person right now can go into an ER room with a broken leg, have it set, get a few pain pills, and he's gone. Yes we pick it up in inflated bills. Wth Obamacare that same person now with an insurance card paid for by you and I will go in, maybe have a second opinion, possibly a scan, be prescribed therapy, more pain pills and a second x-ray to make sure the bone has healed. 2K v. maybe 8K.

No. That is a ridiculous, imaginary scenario. That is not how our health care system works now.

Also should you or I have a broken bone at the same time we'll have the chance to wait in line behind this newly insured person.

To say nothing of the unbelievable statement that you want to begrudge another human health insurance because you might be inconvenienced.
"Obamacare" is in effect now. Tell me how you've suffered.
