Many Americans simply do not see fellow Americans as people deserving of compassion, much less resources.

Which is strange, right? Because America ranks number two in charitable giving [1].

So what makes people charitable when it comes to charitable giving, not so when it comes to single payer?

Difference being charity is strictly voluntary and therefore people can give strictly to people they deem deserving.
