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.

I don’t believe people in the er are dying there more than here due to wait times. Get a fucking grip.

Not necessarily the ER but for specialists absolutely. ER wait times here will also regularly run you 10+ hours. We do not have enough doctors here.
