The left is insinuating that you are not a follower of Christ if you don’t support Obamacare.
Christ said give what you have to the poor and follow me; you individually. Don’t have government force people to do it.
If you want to serve the poor, get the government out of health care entirely.
Tied to this — is there a reason technology has gotten so much cheaper while education and health care have gotten so much more expensive? You can buy huge TV’s that used to cost $2,000 for $350 bucks now.
Costs get accelerated because of government. And Medicare refuses more care by a factor of two than private insurance.
Government makes things more complicated, more expensive and less useful.
As always, please listen to the full audio clip for complete context.
