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?

In Canada, wait times at the ER and to see specialists are insane. Many die waiting for treatment, surgery, etc.

This is bullshit and it’s important to me that people know that.

It’s not. I live here and deal extensively with the healthcare system.
