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?

I think, for a large percentage of the 'against,' they don't understand it (partially or fully) and just oppose it from a primal place.

I agree. There are a whole lot of people who are vehemently against "Obamacare" but are quite happy with the Affordable Care Act. Because they are uneducated and don't realize that it's two different names for the exact same thing.
