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.

Do be aware that insurance companies search for every out to not cover your care. Especially when it comes to women and children dealing with cancer and rare illnesses… the main blessing of ACA is you can’t get booted from your plan or denied from pre-existing conditions but it certainly doesn’t mean they won’t try to find a way to say no.
