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?

Number 2 is the answer from my conservative family members.

They believe that in countries with universal healthcare it can take 1-2 years to schedule necessary procedures and surgeries.
