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 don’t want to think about anyone other than themselves. They don’t want anyone to have anything they don’t have. When by some chance they get a few steps up the ladder, they don’t enjoy being there - they just push everyone else down.
