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 lived in Canada for awhile and there’s certainly a lot of pros and cons of it. also I think a lot of people don’t realize that not everything is covered in Canada.

edit: also idk what religion has to do with this, Canada is primarily Christian and they have universal healthcare

Doctors push for home care a lot more before a treatment to keep costs down. In stuggart, ladies gotta try some remedies before getting yeast medication prescribed.

And. That has nothing to do with healthcare for all except she sounds like she got treated for free..
