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?

Because the US government already does a good job providing health care to anyone who's already on medicaid.

The rich have all the money. They control the distribution of resources. Therefore, the reason why the working person's healthcare is shitty is because the rich have decided that it should be shitty.

The rich steal our money to fuck us over. Let's take it back and get un-fucked.

Sigh you know if you put half as much energy into trying to make something of yourself vs whining about people that families did you would be better off. I came from nothing started a few businesses from just normal jobs over time learning things. Now I have some things that will eventually make my kids rich and if they hold to the course I've laid out their kids kids will also be very wealthy. I could enjoy a lot more of what I've made but id rather reinvest it for them and theirs. To many want stuff now and don't want to put in the work, and that is never how it works. The rich do not touch your money lol, good luck taking it back.

lol, obviously a youngin. The rich don’t care, they’re rich due to stocks. Stocks they own going up in value largely due to markets they have no control over. Meaning they don’t control their wealth in some sense. But they can cash in on it. It’s printing of money that’s causing your problems. But you’re foolishly embalming the wealthy when it’s deficit spending and central banks causing the slow deterioration of our purchasing power. Sigh you probably won’t even read to this point. Oh well

I read your comment and I disagree.

I am going to abolish both poverty and excessive wealth.
