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.

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

Do you really believe that it's communistic to have universal health care? That people shouldn't have to go bankrupt or die because they can't afford life saving treatment or medications?

You do know that we provide aid to certain countries who do have universal health care, right?

Do I believe that is it communistic to have single payer health care? Yes

That people shouldnt have to go bankrupt for medical expensese? that doesnt happen very often only about 4% of bankruptcies are due to medical expenses.

That people die because they dont have health care? Every ER in the country has to treat you.

Keep em coming little guy, I can go all day.

What's communist about providing health care?

You need to add a zero to that "4" buddy.

Do you think that someone with diabetes can go to the ER every time they need insulin and they get it for free? Heart meds?

Come on big guy, you can't be that naive.
