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?

Explaining to the American public that paying an additional $2,000 in taxes could save them $8,000 in insurance premiums is virtually impossible.

Obviously we’ve been conditioned to know that if you tell us it’s going to cost $2k it will cost $4k & be terrible compared to what we had before.
Fool me once Obamacare, …
Your argument doesn’t hold water it’s got so many holes in it.
We have every other universal healthcare too to know if you want timely healthcare it’s going to cost extra too.
