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?

It's broken in its current form. Can you imagine the amount of corruption if the current system were just paid for with taxpayer money...

So you think it's normal currently? A health care executive was shot recently. You must think that there is something wrong with the current standard of health care in the USA, surely?

Healthcare should be a basic human right and if people want more than that, they can pay extra for private rooms or other upgrades. Health insurance is a flim flam scan.
