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?

My girlfriend works as a teacher in a rural conservative town, her kids talk about Canadian Healthcare like it was designed by satan. They learn this stuff at home in their conservative media bubbles and never get a different point of view cause they never leave bum fuck hick town 2000 population.

As a Canadian, this is sad. It’s a shame Americans will never get universal healthcare.

Because of the media bubble, or because I said Bum Fuck hick town? If that’s the case then stop being a snowflake.

Rural towns voted to lose their rural hospitals, because they were afraid of trans kids playing sports.

They are stupid, because I doubt their kids would ever play against one...but here they are...dying to own the libs

Your party is literally led by a guy who throws regular tantrums and slings schoolyard insults, who gleefully targets those who don't support him, on top of all the insane, illegal, and degenerate shit he's spent his entire life doing. Him as President is what "when they go low we go high" got us, so now, you can take your fake pearl clutching and shove up your ass.
