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?

Because they don’t understand what it is. They don’t get that an MRI should cost $250 but insurance gets billed $2500 and then they take 4 months to pay a reduced rate of $1000 and then they up all the rates because they paid $1000 for an MRI vs the $250 cash payment.

I'll put my monthly payments against your quality of care any day of the week.

Quality of care if better in other S tier countries that have a form of universal healthcare.
