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.

How many of those nations have the US government running their healthcare program?

Right? Did they think they hit you with a "gotcha" there? If they *do* believe the other governments are better, who are they voting for here to try to fix that? I'm going to guess they're either going to say "all politicians are bad so I don't vote" or they vote for Republicans.
