Republicans must think, (and maybe others) that healthcare will work with capitalism

8. Wealthy Republicans think that healthcare will work with capitalism...

Because they get "money back" due to investments in profitable insurance and medical products and systems that are on "the market". So it doesn't matter how much they have to spend on their healthcare, if their ROI covers those costs.

My late FIL was moderately wealthy - six figure annual income in retirement but only 7 figures in the bank account.
"Why don't y'all just get a trainer, eat healthier, and see a good doctor more often?"...and he didn't feel any wallet pinching shelling out thousands of dollars a year on top of his Cadillac insurance policy for a gym (with a trainer) and golf club membership, organic groceries, and just "dropping in" to see his doctor four times a year more than his policy covered just to chat and run occasional out of network tests.

The rest of the GOP don't understand the varieties of either Capitalism or Socialism available, so their opinions on how to provide healthcare for a majority of folks is based on their personal opinions or "vibes".
