Why is there so much resistance to healthcare?

Polarity is the rule in American society. I guess we can blame this on a lack of leadership. But not in the same perspective of the conservatives who blame things on PBO not leading us as they deem fit, I lay blame clearly on the corporadoes who bought enough democrats to detour single-payer Medicare for all and sell us the hedge deal (ACA)made  that there will be no limits on lifetime  expenses and elimination of "pre-existing" exclusions.
 I understand it is not a sweet deal for those(unions) who have theirs.  To others, the ones who only have the "death or emergency healthcare option D", anything is an improvement. To those who feel the pinch, I recognize your suffering. It does not excuse our collective responsibility to the 50 million who have no healthcare.Be holy,(Holy) call on whatever religious tradition you choose, but do not ever say to me that the system is just fine as it is. The "Man" fears universal health care  not because Juan Valdez has a an anchor baby on your dime but because the worker wins, the young win and the Man gets to pay his tab finally after 30 years of Reaganomics. Get on the right side, The Left.
