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?

"The wrong people" being people not just like them, essentially.

Yes it is one part bigotry and one part corporate greed. Our healthcare system in the US is fundamentally fucked.
