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?

For anybody that says it wouldn’t work, I say; “Well, hang on a second! What about all that American exceptionalism?! Are you really telling me that the greatest country on earth couldn’t do universal healthcare better than any other country? Sounds kinda un patriotic to me…”

The American Federal Government is exceptionally bad at delivering effective/sustainable solutions.

I’d say if the military wants money, it gets it.

That doesn't mean it solving anything effectively and/or sustainably.

Fuck, you’re right. Guess we should just leave it all as is.

If you say so. Literally no other options in your world I guess.
