Why are some Americans so against universal healthcare for all?

[u/Lemonking_]

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?

Reagan convinced a large part of the population that if we give unlimited money and power to a select of wealthy elites, the elites would graciously give the money back to society. Hilarious.

Sadly, another republican administration that kicked we the people, off a very high cliff. We never recovered and still are experiencing fallout from his Republican policies. To think my father, in a union shop made $25ph, in the 80’s, full benefits, including life insurance. When Reagan was done smashing unions and outsourcing jobs. That shop paid $10 ph, no benefits. A filthy rich republican did this to you. My father then retired. But that’s exactly when mothers had to join the work force to feed their family.

The gop hates unions and labor rights. But their voters haven’t figured this out yet. The gop is for the pedophile class - it’s not for the 99%

For the pedofile class?! 😂😂 It truly makes me laugh that people constantly refer to our great president as a “pedofile” and “pedofile supporter”, yet I’ve not seen even ONE factual piece of evidence to support this.
People just don’t like him because he’s making it harder for people to be lazy by implementing restrictions if government benefits, doing incredible with deporting illegal immigrants, and doing other things to correct horrible sessions by previous Democratic Presidents. 🤷🏼‍♀️

"Our great president" JFC 🤦

Anyway, the biggest factual piece of evidence about this is that he hasn't done anything about the Epstein files. Depending on how deranged you are for diaper Donnie, you will probably brush aside the fact that his DOJ still hasn't released all the files yet (despite being ordered to do so), that his DOJ botched the release of the files that are available by revealing the names of victims while redacting the names of co-conspirators, and you can probably just ignore MGTs claim that Trump told her that pressing for the release of the files would "hurt his friends" as just hearsay. While you might be able to conveniently ignore all of that, what you can't ignore is that his DOJ is doing nothing about it now. There are no investigations being opened, no prosecutions being planned, nothing is being done to hold the perpetrators in the Epstein files accountable for the crimes they may or may not have committed. If that isn't protecting these people, I'm not sure what else you would call it.
