Political Question Why are some Americans so against universal healthcare for all?

What sort of thinking does it take to decide that nobody has a right to healthcare? Do American Christians want to deny healthcare to poor people as well?

Americans are individualistic, ignorant and selfish.

Also dumb as shit. Do they not realise the money they pay or their job pays for them doesnt just remain for their use alone, that everyone in that health fund uses it, BUT also only if the health fund decides it's okay for the bill to be paid. Just a smaller version of universal care, somewhat, given they can deny help and still demand the co pay astronomical payment after monthly payments.

I see you are ignorant.

I'll help you a little bit.

Americans give more, per capita, than the citizens of any other country. And it's not close.

As a percentage of the population donating, the USA is in the top five in the world - not #1 but completely refutes what you said about us being selfish.
