I wonder if it would have been a more emotional debate had the Dems accused the GOP of trying to pass the greatest expansion of a socialist program since Social Security and Medicare were created?

There might have been.

But too many Dems opposed it because they wanted a more generous expansion.

So you only would have gotten such a debate if it was strongly attacked by Republicans, and by conservative or libertarian leaning independents. You got some of that, but not enough to make it the main debate, and certainly not enough to make it anything like the current debate.
