There isn't one reason. Many Americans feel like; the way to judge the value of something, a person, an endeavor, is by how much profit it makes. So a system that provides people healthcare, but doesn't make a few people billionaires, is a bad system. For which see: education. 1/ https://twitter.com/StuartWrites/status/1250174392291610624

Many Americans don't like that idea that their tax dollars go to help people not like them. If our tax dollars went to OUR healthcare, but not healthcare for *those people* they'd be fine with it.

Many Americans feel like the only value a person has, is their labor. That's how you measure human worth; how much you can sell your labor for.

A system that provides a service, regardless of how much you sell your labor for, is therefore unfair and, many of them think, immoral

The problem is; Americans have been raised to this about this issue in a perverse way. They don't consciously think "but would this system produce billionaires?" But they DO consciously think "well only a private corporation can do this efficiently!"

Which is the same thing. The only thing corporations are efficient at is creating wealth for shareholders.

Americans don't trust anyone who says they want to help people. That's a scam. That's what Doctors and Lawyers say. People trying to scam you. A politician is a scam artist. A public servant is just a polite term for a politician.

So any government program designed to help people, must be a scam. Because no one really wants to do that.

But corporations make people *rich* and that is *good*. Therefore corporations should be in charge of health care.

"The Business of America...is Business." The purpose of America is to make a very small number of people obscenely wealthy. It is not to provide safety, security, or opportunity for its people.
