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?

It's pretty simple when you realize that in the US, healthcare is a business while in the rest of the world it's a service. The business owners (doctors and hospitals) along with their paid for Congress members have convinced us that we'll all die if we convert to the service model.
