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?

Who pays for free healthcare?

@Notanymore the citizens taxes are just higher. So taxes cover it

@kyky16 all citizens.....or the working citizens that are taxed to death already by the socialist welfare system?

@Pikachu the tax system is far too flawed at the moment for that to work.. .too many people are already living off of my wages

I'm living not so very far above the poverty line.
I've never had a problem with helping people out who need help.
Are there people who take advantage of the system? Yup. Welcome to humans lol.
But there are many more who genuinely need the help.

@Pikachu i work in a place that's having a really tough time finding help....the pay's not great but the insurace is awesome and cost of living around here is among the lowest in the country....if anyone wants a job it's available.....but many many people would rather do food stamos than earn their keep. Feel free to put in an application
