The problem is in the definitions. This is a discussion where the answer is likely found in the details, but we can't even agree on common language, much less the subtle intricacies. Caring for the sick and poor isn't necessarily fixed by 'universal health care,' especially as defined by this government (which I take to be more about control and less about service). If the church was doing its job and helping the sick and poor, the government wouldn't have to. I think it is entirely possible to be Christian and still have doubts about how to best assist the sick and poor. I care and am active in my local community and my local church. I trust that those who know me best will understand that's not nothing even if I don't support what passes for 'universal health care' in this day and age in America.
