Sorry folks health care became an entitlement, that happened in stages over many decades, beginning with Medicare in the 1960s and continuing to ObamaCare. Voters want federally subsidized health care and they want someone else to pay for it. Over the past 20 years, health-care costs have mushroomed while median family income has barely budged. People who once could afford it can't and they want welfare.
The voters meant they didn't like the taxes or mandates but they didn’t mean that anyone should touch their coverage.
The entitlement mind-set has been taking root for two generations now.
These Senators are just following the voters, and the Democrats know this.
