Indeed - they probably meant the oppressive fascist government to show what it’d be like with conservatives in power.
It does not have to be. When the obvious parallels can be drawn, even if it's riddled with agitprop, the reachable millenials will see the implications of big government [fascism] which robs them of the" freedom to choose healthcare." (And by logical extension anything else)
It may not have started that way, but the comparison with the present government seems obvious. It is about rebellion against a tyrannical oppressive government and the price that must be paid to resist. I am going to see the movie later today and see if is close to the book in its portrayal of resistance to a dictatorial degenerate government

The Hunger Games is not a conservative manifesto.
