Well, the democrat/progressive “free cheese” eaters are rallying against having to pay for their own health-care insurance. See: (2/25) Montpelier Save Our Healthcare Rally
”Donald Trump and the Republican Congress are pushing to ram through an agenda which takes health-care away from 30 million Americans, privatizes Medicare, and defunds Planned Parenthood, while giving tax cuts to their millionaire and billionaire friends.”
This division in our country is exactly why our federal government should not be involved in the health-care needs of the people of the various United States, which I might add is not among the powers granted to our federal government by our Constitution.
What these people are demanding is to use federal force to confiscate their neighbor’s hard earned wages and transfer it to them so they can pay for their health-insurance needs. So, what is the difference between our federal government doing this and an armed robber sticking you up, taking your money, and then using it for his/her health-insurance needs?
And what is the fundamental reason for government? See: Rep. Giles, speaking before Congress February 3rd, 1792
"Under a just and equal Government, every individual is entitled to protection in the enjoyment of the whole product of his labor, except such portion of it as is necessary to enable Government to protect the rest; this is given only in consideration of the protection offered. In every bounty, exclusive right, or monopoly, Government violates the stipulation on her part; for, by such a regulation, the product of one man's labor is transferred to the use and enjoyment of another. The exercise of such a right on the part of Government can be justified on no other principle, than that the whole product of the labor or every individual is the real property of Government, and may be distributed among the several parts of the community by government discretion; such a supposition would directly involve the idea, that every individual in the community is merely a slave and bondsman to Government, who, although he may labor, is not to expect protection in the product of his labor. An authority given to any Government to exercise such a principle, would lead to a complete system of tyranny."

There is no magic wand in government force which changes the definition of thievery. Those who use and rely upon government force to gain possession of the product of their neighbor’s labor for their personal economic needs are complicit in the act of thievery.
