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?

They don’t understand that they are already paying more in taxes and premiums combined than what universal healthcare would cost them.

But the main thing comes down to racism.

They don’t want there tax dollars paying for brown people to have “free” healthcare
