I'm talking about VOTERS. Not representatives or senators or whatever. If voters said "we don't care about the funding, tax us more", then there would be no excuse. But your average voter does not want to hear any argument that touches on the possibility of their taxes rising. They may be annoyed at excess military spending, but not as much as I think you want to hear.

This is a talking point literally perpetuated by lobbyists and the representatives they own.

When you give people healthcare that costs less in taxes than they pay out of pocket, they understand. In countries that HAVE healthcare, its practically a death sentence for a politician to campaign against it! So the shitheads in Britain for example instead subtly make it worse, with their goal of patsies like you taking up their water. Dont be offended, the polling and numbers are not in your favor, just recognize that maybe healthcare is good and worth it.

Tl;dr When you demand they personally sign-off on funding and scaremonger about the cost, yes,
people are against it. When they actually have it, they love it. Every time.
