I think the USA antipathy to a general health service likely stems from this irrational argument:
“If I don’t do anything bad, I will not become poor, lose my job, or have a chronic illness that causes me to lose my health insurance.
Thus anyone who is poor or has a chronic illness must deserve to be so.
If they deserve it, then I should not have to pay towards their care and so they should lose their health insurance.”
This is of course backed up and encouraged by the insurance and private health providers who benefit greatly from the excessive fees they can charge.
