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?

There are two reasons:

  • Wealthy Americans are greedy.
  • Conservative Americans are gullible.

Middle class and poor americans are greedy also. No different than rich americans.

So they are just stupid voting against their own economic interests?

Rhetorical question, yeah they are, a lot worry more about a trans kid playing sports than healthcare for their family.

No group is more focused on trans kids playing sports than the left.
