Medicare for all? No thanks, I don't want to pay for other people's healthcare. I like private insurance, where I pay for other people's healthcare and for the salaries of blood sucking middlemen who's entire purpose is telling me NO! when I need healthcare.

And many white Americans don't mind suffering if it means black Americans are suffering more (though like someone pointed out here, 70+% of Americans support M4A though)
I've always wondered about this claim. I grew up in the South and even my most racist relatives never mentioned caring if social programs made minorities suffer more.
Beyond the semi-related 'welfare queen' narrative anyways.
It's not like people are explicitly saying (or even consciously thinking) "well I like universal health care, but I don't want black people to have it". It usually gets laundered mentally through discrimination towards "the poor", who in a lot white folks' minds are usually black people (and that's where the welfare queen trope comes in). It's in the view that "the poor" are just looking for handouts and don't deserve help because I work hard and they don't.
That sounds a lot more like what I've heard. Thanks for explaining this!
