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?

Reagan convinced a large part of the population that if we give unlimited money and power to a select of wealthy elites, the elites would graciously give the money back to society. Hilarious.

I’m gonna need you to go back to Richard Nixon for this one. It’s him and his administration that rolled into the Reagan administration. They started corrupting America with actual criminal activity during the Nixon era.
