I’M A BIBLE THUMPING CHRISTIAN.  ALMOST EVERY EVANGELICAL CHRISTIAN I KNOW IS DEEPLY OPPOSED TO OBAMACARE, WHICH IS ODD BECAUSE WE ARE TAUGHT JESUS WAS PASSIONATE ABOUT CARING FOR THE SICK.

SO WHY ARE CHRISTIANS SO ADAMANTLY AGAINST A CAUSE JESUS MADE SUCH A PRIORITY?  THE USUAL EXPLANATION IS THAT PROVIDING MEDICAL CARE IS NOT THE JOB OF GOVERNMENT.

BUT, THE BIBLE ENCOURAGES THOSE IN POWER TO HELP.  ONE BIBLICAL PROVERB SAYS “IF A KING JUDGES THE POOR WITH FAIRNESS, HIS THRONE WILL ALWAYS BE SECURE”.  MOST UNINSURED AMERICANS ARE POOR, SO THAT BIBLE VERSE RELATES.

HERE’S SOMETHING YOU DIDN’T KNOW.  THE U.S. RANKS 37TH IN THE WORLD IN THE QUALITY OF ITS HEALTHCARE. IF CHURCHGOERS LIKE ME BELIEVE IT’S OUR JOB TO TREAT THE SICK, WHY DON’T OUR CHURCHES OPEN FREE HEALTH CLINICS FOR THOSE WITHOUT INSURANCE COVERAGE?

UNTIL YOUR CHURCH DOES, IF YOU CONSIDER YOURSELF A CHRISTIAN, YOU CAN’T COMPLAIN ABOUT OBAMACARE.
