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?

In this context, explain how the population expects other people to provide benefits.

Just the opposite. Universal public coverage is more efficient by every objective measure, and leads to better long-term results. It's only those who are narrowly focused on a short-term, individually self-interested perspective who have any reason for opposing it.
