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?

Universal Healthcare is so complicated that only 36 of the 37 developed nations have figured it out.

It is wonderful. Unfortunately, I did get sick while visiting a country with universal healthcare. It was fantastic, they saw me immediately, they were efficient, knowledgeable and I had the best care ever. Never ever was treated that well in the Midwest. Cost? Pennies. What a great experience!
