They’ve been chiefly brainwashed to think taxes are evil.
Anything that involves caring for others outside of your immediate family requires taxes. That’s socialism. And that includes healthcare.
“Why should I pay to help some poor person’s kid with childhood leukemia when I can hardly afford to put gas in my jacked up F-250? Do you know how much chrome exhaust tips cost? They should just get a better job so they can take care of their kids. It’s their fault they’re poor. Maybe they should have made their kid wear a mask or something. “
Just a few from mostly recent years, varying sources. Of course some can be found saying otherwise, but I feel like a meta review would reveal it’s likely at least 50%+ most of the time.
Yeah it seems like how you phrase it. Everyone hates health insurance. Most people don’t even like doctors. But we are a severely mis- and under-educated people.
So you’ll have people saying things like:
I hated Obamacare but my new ACA plan is pretty good.
Keep your government hands off my Medicare!
What is the best way to sell universal healthcare to the American people who really need it and actually want it although they may think they don’t? I like Bernie’s approach of calling it Medicare for all, but if Medicare gets gutted they might not sound so good. How should we talk about it?
Most of my family are diehard MAGA and I’ve tried to explain to them that the bigger the pool of paying customers the cheaper the insurance rates, and if you made the pool everyone in the entire country and took profit out of the equation they would pay far less for health insurance.
Most of the time they’re response is that they don’t care that it would be cheaper, they just don’t want their taxes paying for someone else’s healthcare.
They seem to miss the point that their insurance premium is also paying for someone else’s healthcare but in the end it just boils down to selfishness and bigotry.
Boomers try to say that Millennials and Gen Z are selfish compared to them, but the boomers invited “fuck you, got mine”.
I find it hilarious that most Americans have been brainwashed to think socialised healthcare is bad.

Silver medal. Should be-
Fucking gold.

Sixty-two percent respond with universal coverage.
A 57% majority of U.S. adults believe that the federal government should ensure all Americans have healthcare coverage.
63% of U.S. adults say the government has the responsibility to provide health care coverage for all
The vast majority of Americans, 70 percent, now support Medicare-for-all
