i think the opposition to universal healthcare has a lot of factors, but a LOT of the people opposed to that idea were opposed to this one.

like, this was the most hated provision of obamacare by a wide margin when it was federal

Erhm, it’s Romney Care. He’s the one who introduced it. Repubs love to forget that tidbit.

Romney's a RINO however upon taking office, Romney faced a state legislature in which Democrats held 85 percent of the seats. So any healthcare bill he signed would have had to go through that gauntlet.
