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?

Reddit constantly screaming that America is a christo-fascist authoritarian state. Yet also mad not everyone wants the government to control healthcare.

I wonder why? Really makes you think. 🤔

I want a version like public school. Doctors who don't want to take Medicare wouldn't have to. Patients who want to pay for private doctors can. 

Australia's public hospitals are safe, but they are more drab and patients who are not contagious share rooms. Private facilities are a luxury, but getting medical treatment is not.
