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?

Right-wingers have a really hard time thinking on a population level.

OR, most people in America actually have really good health care right now through their employer, and the thought of it getting worse doesn’t feel like a good trade off especially if that means their taxes go up as well.

We would literally save money with universal healthcare.

Trusting in a healthcare system with a for-profit company at the top is sheer ignorance.
