There's a difference between opposing a government program because of the fear that people will get addicted to it and it will be hard to wean them off (Sen. Ted Cruz's pre-shutdown comments) and opposing a program because you think it will work (cynical interpretation of Cruz's comments).
If I thought obamacare (or any progressive program) would actually work (rather than be shipwrecked on the shoals of economics and the reality of human behavior) then I (and most other republicans) would support it.
But we don't...so we don't.
It's not fear, or pride. It's principles.
