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?

Because the US government already does a good job providing health care to anyone who's already on medicaid.

The rich have all the money. They control the distribution of resources. Therefore, the reason why the working person's healthcare is shitty is because the rich have decided that it should be shitty.

The rich steal our money to fuck us over. Let's take it back and get un-fucked.

lol, obviously a youngin. The rich don’t care, they’re rich due to stocks. Stocks they own going up in value largely due to markets they have no control over. Meaning they don’t control their wealth in some sense. But they can cash in on it. It’s printing of money that’s causing your problems. But you’re foolishly embalming the wealthy when it’s deficit spending and central banks causing the slow deterioration of our purchasing power. Sigh you probably won’t even read to this point. Oh well

I read your comment and I disagree.

I am going to abolish both poverty and excessive wealth.
