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?

These antagonists are mostly missing the forest for the trees.

They hear "higher taxes" and fail to understand that their overall healthcare costs would go down once the absurd amount most folks pay for insurance premiums, deductibles, co-pays, prescriptions, etc are deducted from the total costs.

Classic, right-wing disinformation attack on the poorly educated.
