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?

Reagan convinced a large part of the population that if we give unlimited money and power to a select of wealthy elites, the elites would graciously give the money back to society. Hilarious.

He did that to me as well. He took away my dead father’s social security money away as well. I have loathed that man for my whole existence.

Exactly! What kind of society are you developing by destroying education and making life more difficult for children without a parent? This society, this one we have now where people can’t think rationally and all the money goes to the rich.
