  Because rich people on large corporations refuse to pay their fair share of taxes

    Those rich people also are shareholders of the insurance companies

      Yes and they also own politicians.

  Because the American system provides for a rich ecosystem of middlemen and lobbyists. If we switch to Universal Healthcare, what will they do? Code?

      Trump’s existence doesn’t make Obama’s health care plan suck any less.

  No one knows, but for sure the reason is something rotten. I’ve never ever heard a reasonable argument against it.

  Not the entire “first world” has universal health care. The Netherlands for example has only 62% UFC. Which is fairly managable in paractice, with proper regulations and support for thos ewho can’t pay the €120 obligatory monthly insurance fee, but obviously it’s complete bullshit.
