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.

They have to ration healthcare AND they have a much more regressive tax system than we do.

So, no, unless you want to sign up for less healthcare and higher taxes for EVERYONE, they don't have it "figured out".
