Why are so many still opposed to health care for everyone?

Asked by Hypocrisy_Central (26879points) April 3rd, 2010

Why is it that many people still oppose health care for all and still want to fight the law? People are saying they want equality and fairness in marriages, housing, and education but doesn’t good health sit at the foundation of all of that? What good is it to have the ability to achieve equal pay and advancement whether you are male or female if you are ill? What good is it to be able to have equal access to education be you Black, brown, white, red, or purple is you can’t prevent or treat sickness that would stop you from attending classes? Does it matter if you are Gay or straight and want to marry if you are not healthy enough to walk down the isle? When you are not well you cannot do anything or very little. To have the ability to catch cancers and other illness early before they are too far gone to be treated and not provide access or a way of doing that we might as well be a 3rd world nation. You can’t produce goods or provide services if you or your work force is sick, weak and ill. Why are so many people telling others “I don’t want to help you prevent an illness or stop it early because doing so might have an effect me, cross your fingers and just hope you don’t get sick”?
