"i laugh when folks cheer for the affordable care act and jeer when unions ask for improved wages/benefits! how does one reconcile that it is okay for govt to provide more people with more benefits that everyone subsidizes but it is not okay for a union member to ask for the same from their employer?"

I would think it would be the same people cheering for the Affordable Care Act and also cheering for union members to get honest wages and benefits. Those are the more liberal ideas.

The more conservative ideas are the ones against the Affordable Care Act and also against unions.

Isn't that usually how it goes?
