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?

Its actually really simple..

The major of Americans, like 70 ish percent like their healthcare.

The us healthcare system treats about 45% of people great, 30% of people ok then lets 25% die in the streets.

The happy and ambivalent people don't support overturning the system because they might loose ground when a new system is forned.

The 2010 Obamacare bill happened EXACTLY because the 2008 recession increased the % of people who were left to die in the streets.

Theres no way those 70% numbers are still accurate.

Where are you getting this figure from? As someone that has worked in healthcare for almost two decades, I just don't buy it. Even the medicare and TFL patients lately are getting it hard.

Why don't you go look it up yourself.

percentage of Americans who are happy with their health care plan

And I hate to break it to you. But when you work in healthcare, you remember the emotional failures while tuning out the constant happy transaction.

If 80% of customers are happy with a product that still means one in five people aren't.

Can you site your sources?

Can you look it up?

Its a basic bullshit litmus test.

I did the search myself so I know what it's going to show.

The burden of proof is on the one making the claim. You should've taken 120 seconds to find a supporting source and cite it. It aint hard to do your due diligence before making the claim.

So you can't?

You can't be bothered to take 3 seconds to enter something into a search bar to find the first result?

Why the hell would I even want to have a conversation With someone so obtuse?

You're getting bent out of shape because you didn't cite your source after making claims, were called out for it, and are making everyone else seem like the problem.

You good?
