Have differences in values.

Explanation:

Carol is an empathetic person that understands that poor people can not pay for health insurance and paying higher fees will not prejudicate the richer people in the country, so it would be good for a lot of people. Sharon believes that everyone have the same opportunities to become rich and think poor people should find a way to pay for their own health insurance. It is a difference of values, with Carol being more about wealth distribution and Sharon being more about economic freedom.
