Christians whats happening to our government? First we give money to the poor (welfare), now, healing the sick?
Would Jesus really want us to chip in to help the 16% of Americans without health insurance?
Let's do the Christian thing and fight this communist agenda. I say,... Only those who can afford health care, deserve it. Let's fight this to the end, with angry protests and violence if necessary.
I say we keep the profit in health insurance. So what if we have the most expensive health care system in the world, and so what if we are the only civilized nation that doesn't help everyone recover when they are sick... after all we have the only purely for-profit health care system in the civilized world, and we're doing just fine. Last I checked our health care system was still ranked #37, right behind Costa Rica (#36).
- May our lord be a beacon of light in these troubled times.

@tuberot - yeah like the govt can run anything properly. I mean private industry health care only has a 14% admin cost, meanwhile the bureaucratic medicare operates at 3% admin cost. And what if health care were like the post office? I mean they pick up a letter from my house and take it across the country for less than 2 quarters. Talk about inefficiency. Where do you think the saying, "Right as the mail" came from. I.e. - one time, they delivered my mail to my neighbor, humbug.
@ "." - did you know that the US actually has not-for-profits setting up clinics in the US. Not like soup kitchens, I'm talking about the people who go to Africa to help the sick. And they have to help us. Let that sink in. I guess that 10% tithe has to buy a lot of suits.
Also @ "." - the bible doesn't say anything about taxation, but I won't hold my breathe for you to provide scripture. What your god does address is 'usery' - charging interest on loans. and fyi, the christian nations were the first to break that commandment. Education is good for you.
@ Jennifer. rofl. the good lord has sent his wisest disciples to this cause. - Good Point. Jesus would never want us to help "Immigrants" when they are sick. Remember "God & Country." Our country that is, we gotta watch out for our own. Jesus would totally be up for arbitrary boundaries of love. They're not reeeallllyy neighbors are they?
- Holy crap. It's like they read the bible and don't understand a word of it.
@ "." - I like that. Overreaching statements with no examples or supporting evidence/principles. I don't drink the govt kool aid. Capitalism is the best system we've come up, given human nature. But it doesn't work with health care. There's no $ in curing people, better to insure those who are healthy and deny those who are sick.
Also @ "." - I love how a simple concept like helping the sick and poor gets twisted in your head to 'theft.' Yeah, the govts stealing from us by taxing. I assume you don't drive on govt taxed and build roads. Jesus taught helping people, can't you just focus on that. Hell, he spent most of his fictitious life helping sick & poor people. How did you miss that?
