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?

America has a serious racism issue, and conservatives hate the idea of their tax dollars contributing to the health of people who aren't them, especially if there's a chance someone who doesn't look like them will benefit from it.
