The oft cited statistics that the majority of this country think healthcare should be a right do not seem to include studies that ask this question (in more subtle unbiased ways). I bet a lot of deplorables would say "Yes! Single Payer for a hardworking salt of the earth American like me makes sense!" Then they might imagine some inner city black people benefitting - forcing them to reconsider. If only they would stand together with the non-billionaires, they might just get healthcare as a right.

I used to find it odd that in Europe, far right was defined as nationalistic and hardcore racist - not defined by taking away healthcare etc. now I do understand it because the European deplorables don't want to eliminate healthcare and other benefits in general - they just want to eliminate the benefits for non-natives...or they just want to eliminate the non-natives altogether.
