I'm a republican who is also opposed to public healthcare and I understand it isn't communism. Most of the other republicans with whom I interact also understand that. Not all republicans engage in false equivalence.

You know that guy who leads your party? Large, orange, shouty? He's conflated it with communism, repeatedly. You should perhaps consider paying more attention.

I think for myself and do not just adopt whatever view happens to be espoused by a party leader. I'm sure he may have conflated socialized healthcare with communism at some point, but my original point remains that most of the republicans I know do not believe such things.
