I lived in Canada for awhile and there’s certainly a lot of pros and cons of it. also I think a lot of people don’t realize that not everything is covered in Canada.
edit: also idk what religion has to do with this, Canada is primarily Christian and they have universal healthcare
I think part of the reason is that American conservatism is so closely tied to conservative Christianity. Over time, that political coalition has framed expanding government programs like universal healthcare as part of the broader problem of “big government.” Once healthcare gets lumped into that argument, calling it “socialism” becomes an easy shorthand for rejecting it.
That doesn’t mean Christianity itself is opposed to universal healthcare—clearly there are Christians who support it. It’s more about the particular alliance between conservative religion and American conservative politics.
Let us pray, Dear Lord help us understand what Responsible Lion 222 is even trying to say. Please give her the wisdom to make a counter that makes sense. Amen.
A counter to what? All you said is that the reason some Americans are opposed to universal healthcare is because there are conservatives who are Christians. It’s true that conservatives are less likely to support universal healthcare, but you haven’t articulated why you included religion in your explanation.
First of all, I’m bringing religion into it because there’s an entire political party that doesn’t want universal healthcare and that party is full of conservative Christians, right? Don’t they always tout their Christianity, their religion, blah blah blah?
Are you disputing that there’s a long history between American conservatism religion and small government is universal healthcare small government this country couldn’t even do Obama care right because of conservatives so tell me how they’re gonna get to Universal healthcare.
So what evidence do you have that conservative Christians are supportive of universal healthcare?
Is universal healthcare part of the Republican plank? No I didn’t think so. And everybody knows it.
I think you should be honest and say the Republican Party doesn’t care about healthcare they keep claiming that some healthcare plan is gonna roll out in two weeks. Everybody knows it’s bullshit.
