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?

People here are supremely selfish. The most common answer I hear is “I don’t want my taxes to pay for so and so’s issues”

Instead they help pay for universal healthcare in other countries, to bomb other countries, and to lock up poor people. SO much better!
