That would require explaining why affordable, universal access to healthcare is bad, to people that are in desperate need of said healthcare, from a position where healthcare (and preferential treatment at hospitals) is simply a given birthright.

Not a winning proposition.

It has to do with the idea of getting “something for nothing” or somehow getting something one “has not earned”.

Coming from a position of priviledge and wealth doesn’t one the ability or the right not determine such things in regards to other people. Being wealthy doesn’t mean one is also smart, or correct.

I keep thinking of feudal lords of the past.
