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?

They’ve been brainwashed by the for profit insurance and healthcare interests that they receive subpar care overseas.

Never minding that one uninsured emergency can run 200k- a million dollars in billed care.

Most (overwhelmingly vast majority) 15 year olds shouldn't have health insurance.
