I’m not opposed to a well-functioning healthcare for all, but I can guess at a few possible oppositions: (all of these are phrased as generic first-person statements but by people who are not me)
1. I don’t want my healthcare to be provided by the same people who brought me a lifetime of experiences at the Department of Motor Vehicles.
2. Healthcare is expensive. I’m already paying for healthcare for my family and we’re struggling to get ahead; why would I want to pay for healthcare for others as well?
3. Good healthcare is expensive and I can afford and buy the best health insurance. I don’t want the best to be unavailable to me and my family because we’re all on a “just OK” government system.
4. I’m a medical professional and think that I will make less money under a government-provided system of care.
