The Lord is My Healthcare, I shall not want.

So I've been reading and trying to understand why all these poor/middleclass people are so vehemently opposed to having a decent common standard of healthcare in the US.

You listen to their reasons, and when it comes down to it, what I hear over and over again is just the word "Socialism" without any apparent understanding of what socialism actually is. I think it sets up a connection for a mentally less endowed person to make, basically if they say "socialized medicine" which straightforwardly means people can get access to a minimum standard of healthcare. The word "Socialist" in extreme is often associated with "communism" which in turn is associated with "Atheism" so to a mentally challenged religious person, its easy to be convinced that "socialist medicine" is the same as "atheism", which they believe is actually satanism, or more poorly but accurately for their under utilzed mental facility put, devil worship.

So its no surprise that Republican Christians are opposed to Public Healthcare, they literally believe it is the exact same thing as Devil Worship.

Should mentally challenged people be allowed to make decisions for all of society? I personally do not believe so. You take care of them because if you didnt, they would poke their own eyes out with forks. Its true.
