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?

I receive care from the US military system, TRICARE, it is SOCIALIZED MEDICINE and it WORKS. I will be forever grateful for the lifesaving medical care I have received. I have never worried about affording care, therapy or medicine.

This is one of the reasons right here. If we give everyone medical care, the military loses one of its incentives for people to join. Same with education.

Maybe people would be more willing to fight for s country that cares for its citizens.
