Nobody is against health care for all. Everyone wants that, people disagree on the optimal way to achieve that goal.
It's like saying "I don't understand why anyone would be against housing for all?" while you're advocating for confiscating all private property and having everyone live in state-run housing. Which is fine, and maybe a good way to achieve that goal. But isn't the only way to do that.
- wsatb 6y agoI'd like to believe this actually true, but I don't think so. Otherwise we would be able to have actually healthy debate about it. I think the reality is there is a very vocal group that wants state run healthcare and the other side thinks things are fine the way they are. If there's another way to do it, let's hear about it.
- 0xcde4c3db 6y ago> Nobody is against health care for all. Few will say that explicitly in mixed company, but the gravitational pull seems pretty clear to me in the wider debate. Nobody is against health care for all who deserve it, but it's considered very gauche in most circles to directly argue that some people don't deserve health care, so I think it sublimates into complaints about stuff like the constitutionality of the ACA mandate or wait times for hip replacements in Canada or whatever.
