I support it. No one and I mean no one should ever be without healthcare.

The best healthcare service I ever got was in the UK, where it is universal. You may have to wait a few months (or years) to get some surgery, but it is better than not getting it at all. US healthcare sucks - worst I have ever experienced. It is made worse by the fact that everyone else considers them at the forefront of medical technology.

Improving our culture is important but has nothing to do with healthcare
One needs no culture to support universal healthcare

I guess that depends on your state of health, how much health care you require and how much say you want over your care. I personally like to PAY FOR MY OWN insurance and have more control over my health care. If we had universal health care, it would end up just like our school systems... we pay our taxes and then have little say in the curriculum our children are taught. That would just be one more way that the government could control our lives.
P.S. what does that have to do with whether or not one believes in Christianity?

No. It leads to a stifling of health care as it is bogged down in governmental beuracracy and over-use. The system becomes bloated, and the expenses would make our deficit look small. I don't think I would want to destroy our health care system that way, nor do I want our national deficit getting significantly worse.
So, no, I don't believe that it is a good idea, and I don't think Christians are indebted to it. It's never wise to embrace something that appears good but in the end destroys your good things.

No more than being opposed to infanticide means we have to support free child care. Endorsing personal responsibility has nothing to do with creating an entitlement state. Most Christians DO believe in charity, which is were anyone in honest need can be helped at the discretion of those helping, rather than entitlements where any loser can sit back and get bills paid with my tax money.

Hm. yeah, there is that entire "alieviating the suffering of others" issue....you would think that Xtians would be all for it - but you'ld be amazed how many of them in the US have a "screw the poor, they get what they deserve" attitude
And then call those of us who would support such a measure socialist.
So much for WWJD

Not exactly. I think it is good to know that I will be covered but I like to have a choice of doctor. Government health care takes away choice of doctor. I am in the Militray. I know what I am saying. You don't want it.

Unfortunately, not everyone who calls themselves "Christians" are actually true christians. People need to be catagorized, so they call themselves Christians. You know there is only like 3% of christians in the united states that actually fully believe and follow the bible. It's sad. That's why our country continues to go down hill with no morals.
