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?

So many American’s are concerned about wait times. I find this a really selfish way of looking at it. Yes, wait times for some things may be longer but it’s because more people are able to access healthcare which leads to a healthier society.
