I think for some conservatives it's about the philosophical question of the Fed Gov't should actually be doing. But IIRC most are supportive of Medicare/Medicaid so they're not totally against government run healthcare.

I find that Libertarian leaning people definitely look at the universal healthcare as something that shouldn't be a public good.

Each state could make its own laws and to that point I think some will make some movement on that front if universal healthcare efforts falter.

Ha! States have been eroding local ability to make local efforts (our state minimum wage forbids counties/municipalities from choosing any other); feds have been eroding States rights to choose. All this under a party that pretends to support local small government. Of course they panic when that local small government tries something that they don't like, so they squash it.
