Asking honestly, is there one? As I understand it they all support using my money towards government healthcare for undocumented immigrants. That's about when I tuned out.
I think this is the main difference between our world views. You seem to be primarily concerned with YOUR money being used for the healthcare of people that "don't deserve it."
I am primarily concerned with MY money being used to provide corporate welfare to companies that reward their boards, executives and shareholders with a massive payout every time they take a good shit, and expect their hourly employees to rely on assistance programs to make ends meet. If you can't afford to pay people a living wage, guess what asshole, you can't afford to be in business.
I actually think this is a pretty good summary of economic beliefs of left vs. right.

"Here, at last, is the cure for texting while driving. The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth
