The other reason why it could happen under republicans is that single payer healthcare would be a major boon to most other businesses other than health insurance companies and other healthcare system leeches, and those businesses have said so.
Nah, I don't see that as outweighing Republican ideology against the government providing public services. It has a chance under Republicans because they'll be the ones under which the people can be mobilized to force them to do it. Never because they want to.
Oh, I definitely agree that republicans would be ideologically opposed to more public services. I should have added that it could happen under republicans in my dreams.
