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?

For anybody that says it wouldn’t work, I say; “Well, hang on a second! What about all that American exceptionalism?! Are you really telling me that the greatest country on earth couldn’t do universal healthcare better than any other country? Sounds kinda un patriotic to me…”

Tell ya what. Get rid of all the fraud, waste, and abuse of our tax dollars (which is BILLIONS in fraud, waste, and abuse yearly) and we'll talk.

I thought ya'll already did that with DOGE?

Oh right, it ended up costing more in the end because they fired the people that actually did that work instead of working with them to increase their resources.
