In a country where money runs everything, don't be surprised that the people with all the money don't want to give that money up for the 'social good', and instead buy influence in both parties. And most people can't be bothered to give a damn about it. Much easier to think "Well what Can I do? It doesn't really affect me anyway."
So we're stuck between two parties who don't really give a damn about anyone, but one party is much more obvious about it, and far more blatant with the harm they want to do.
The Right might want to be careful though. One day, the left may very well realize people actually like left-wing policies once implemented. And they'll realize that accusations of wanting to give people healthcare won't be very effective as an attack.

"Tradition" is just a word people use to make themselves feel better about being an asshole.
