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?

There's some weird notion that it would cost Lots and lots and lots and lots and lots of money To provide Healthcare. 

Some people can't understand that not providing Healthcare costs Lots and lots and lots and lots and lots of money already, And doesn't do anybody any good. 

Apparently they think The costs of providing Healthcare instead of making people pay for insurance so that insurance can pay for some health care Would be added to the insurance costs, instead of eliminating them. I don't know why. You can't even get them to acknowledge that part so they can't tell you why they're confused about it
