Hey Americans: Why are y'all against free healthcare?
Why are you happy for your taxes to go to firemen and police and roads but when it comes to universal healthcare you can't stand the idea of putting money in the pot?

Universal healthcare has a downside, too--it's freakin' expensive. And heath insurance programs are over 25% of the U.S. budget; a lot of people do get free healthcare basically.
Not free. Merely subsidized. Personally, if I’m going to pay Into Medicare my entire working life, I damn sure expect it to be there for me when I retire.
@CoffeeFirst It's expensive and nothing comes for free, but somebody is going to have to explain why we spend more per capita on healthcare and receive less per capita in care itself in than the rest of every other Western nation.
