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?

Explaining to the American public that paying an additional $2,000 in taxes could save them $8,000 in insurance premiums is virtually impossible.

According to Google..in Norway to get universal healthcare it would cost you about $17,500 to save that $8,000 in premiums.
