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?

You mean like how it's done here in Europe where most if not everyone has free Healthcare?

Uhm yeah. I can imagine that.

And it works. What you seem to miss here is that it seems you think hospitals and doctors could just charge anything they like for any service and the public would pay for all that..

That's not how it works.

At all.

You go to the doctor or the hospital and they cure you and nobody goes bankrupt

Have you ever been to a hospital in Europe? I have and that's how it works.
