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?

idk. I agree with kate21. I also think people are discouraged by all the changes that don't seem to deliver what people need. Or they think they are paying for freeloaders. Anyway I think most people aren't educated about what kinds of universal healthcares are out there. which is one of the biggest problems.
It wasn't even that long ago that healthcare was pay as you use, and the doctor would just take what you could give and not sweat it. Their were other ways to get the money...like donations from other, etc. I've heard stories of my grandparents using chickens to pay for the doctor delivering one of their kids because they didn't have the money.
things have changed alot since then

I think you're right about that. Just talking to people about it on here gives me the impression that a lot of people aren't too sure what universal healthcare can actually mean.

I would be nice if everyone could give to the doctors what they could afford and no more.
