People are afraid their taxes will go up to pay for universal healthcare. They're not as worried about the fortune they already spend to kill brown kids on behalf of an expansionist regime, or the other fortune they now spend on fuel (and by virtue, everything else that needs to be transported to them) because their government attacked one of the regime's critics.
Or indeed the other fortune they spend on the current healthcare system.
Universal healthcare would save 114,000 American lives a year, and would cost 1 trillion dollars less per year than what we have right now.
