My point was that catching Republicans in this seeming contradiction isn't the "gotcha" that people think it is, because they advertise health and exercise for very different reasons, namely to strip away the last bits of public health insurance that Americans still have.
You're probably right in that the left is more united about reforming health insurance than Democrats are overall. But it's important not to miss the big picture.
The big picture is health insurance and food corporations have captured our political and legal process, I agree. It needs completely rooting out, and anyone against it, republican or democrat, should be removed from office. Citizens United and any other form of legal corporate money in politics needs gutting.
