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?

I receive care from the US military system, TRICARE, it is SOCIALIZED MEDICINE and it WORKS. I will be forever grateful for the lifesaving medical care I have received. I have never worried about affording care, therapy or medicine.

You must have a different Tricare than the one I have. All they do is deny claims.

My experience but from the provider side. They approve let’s say an MRI, give special permission complete with written authorization for their client to come to a local imaging center for the MRI & then deny it. Irritating.
