Would Jesus vote for a National Health Insurance to pass free protection to the poor, sick, and dependent?

I think He would. Jesus has commanded us to give a hand the poor, the unfortunate. I have read nil in Jesus' words that would deny care to those who can not afford it. Isn't endorsement a "public option" the Christian thing to do?
Answers:
Jesus would do a lot of things differently within this country.....
I think he would vote to take fluoride and chlorine out of the water; mercury, aluminum, and other toxins out of the vaccines; pesticides out of our food and bottled and canned drinks; and everything else that are making those increasingly dependent on health care and increasing numbers and at younger ages! So various of these chronic and acute conditions are preventable and could be avoided if our government and industry did not agree to make money sour of bad health, desperate food, and using us disposal systems for their industrial wastes. For those who are already sick, he wouldn't vote for any kind of insurance, but would rouse charity--which means not-for-profit health watchfulness to the needy by those with the channel and ability to give it to them.
You beat me to the punch. I be about to ask the same entity.
Yes, Jesus would vote for National Health Insurance.
I think Jesus would give every worldly possession to liberate 1 person.
I do think populace of faith that vote against a plan that is INTENDED to abet people are hypocrites. If Republican, let's say Bush, be to put forth the same plan Obama did. The majority of conservative would be for it.
I don't know when saving empire became a Liberal thing to do.
I don't consider myself to be Liberal nor Conservative, but if it is solitary going to cost me money to give someone HOPE that they will live then I consider we should do it. The good thing nearly this country is that it can change things. If a bill isn't working, then come spinal column and fix it. But let's start saving lives, Jesus would. Source(s): year of the mojo
Nothing is free, and public odds is needed.

I just want to go on the transcription here that any health care streamlining must include a "public option." This is an option for insurance that comes from the political affairs, not from for-profit companies. Without it there really is no "reform."

This is a deal-breaker: no public resort, then no anything, and we keep trying to return with health care that works for the public instead of lately taking our money to benefit a few.

Nope. Jesus would heal them himself
No. Because Jesus preached to help respectively other and to give to each other. Not for the administration to take from some and give to others. Jesus wishes us to give of our own free will and to do our best to take prudence of ourselves and our family.
He's the one who said "Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a year. Teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime." That's how it is: give associates free healthcare and you provide for them 'til it goes down the drain like most policy programs do (ie: Social Security). But teach people how to work and seize their own healthcare insurance and you provide them with the necessities to care for themselves forever.
Here's what I don't recognize: why can't they just make it informal for States to block insurance companies. There are hundreds of thousands of insurance companies and most States have access to only a few: probably opening access to all would increase competition and drive down costs?
Like I said, Jesus wouldn't vote for the public risk. He'd encourage people to diligence for themselves. He never told Cesar to make sure everyone had healthcare.
“If your brother sins against you, stir and tell him his fault, between you and him alone. If he listen to you, you have gained your brother. But if he does not listen, lift one or two others along with you, that every charge may be established by the evidence of two or three witnesses. If he refuses to listen to them, make clear to it to the church. And if he refuses to listen even to the church, let him be to you as a Gentile and a due collector." Matthew 18:15-17

What the New testament tells us is that the christian way to do things is not through parliament but through ourselves and through the church.
Help others with individual and church charity. Source(s): Bible
the Verses in Matthew aren't the just places where we're told that the gov't is not a place to go beside problems always to the church. 1 Corinthians has a few.
No. Poor family already get "free" healthcare anyway. It is called medicaid

btw.....If you want to yak about compassion, it is better to help family to become independent than to keep them dependent and poor all of their lives living past its sell-by date of govt programs and really never having any security or hope of on an upward curve their lives
No. Jesus taught that through our own free will we should help those smaller number fortunate than ourselves. He would be against the government forcefully taking from those who have and redistribute to those who do not.
no Jesus believes within the health insurance industry, where surrounded by the bible does it say to help the poor and sick? Jesus like companies who do anything to increase their profits, even if it means fcking sick injured people.

umm my god. vigour insurance costs a lot of money. the people that don't enjoy it's not really a matter of choice, it is a matter of "do i want to buy food and wages my mortgage/rent etc" people really do not get how others hold to live their lives.

well i would continue but doesn`t matter what this is InsuranceQuotesFAQ.com

and yea it isn't giving free healthcare, so I won't be having health insurance anytime soon.
I know it is hard for you libs to understand but not a soul in this country
is ever denied health vigilance. I know this for a fact, my brother was an
alcoholic and have no insurance he got cirrhosis of the liver and every time he went to the emergency room they took him within stabilized him and sent him home. More could have been done but he would not stop drinking so they did adjectives that the law would require them to do. He died a few years ago from his drinking 37 years old. I still don't want a socialized robustness care (national) it would not have save his life because they wont give a liver to a party that is still drinking. You have no perception what you are talking about. Most Americans own no problem helping the poor, sick or needy. (I think poor and dependent are the same but using your word) Programs can be set up to help these citizens out that truly need it without making the undamaged country socialized. You are right Jesus would vote for something but not what the president is trying to do. A take over of the whole country, as I said in the past you have no idea what you are conversation about.
Free will is the cornerstone of Christianity, so I doubt it. Where would the dead he caused to stride be if he had refered their families to elected representatives run health care? I'd approaching to see the 'committee of comparative effectiveness's' view on THAT treatment given quality of live in tune life expectancy....
I construe Jesus would give free healthcare by virtue of medicinal the sick himself.

I think he would encourage folks to be charitable and donate their time and money to help the sick who could not afford it.

I don't think he would propose the government seizing the property of it's citizens by force to fund a administration program.
I am against regulating and fixing healthcare. It's not broke. I feel fine! I am not sick and why should I care if 45 million or 50 million or even 60 million catch sick and have pneumonia or H1N1. I mean it's not close to it's contagious.
No. Jesus has commanded that we give to the poor when they enjoy no way of helping themselves. The Bible clearly states that a person should at lowest make the effort to whip care of themselves. Jesus would have no pity for someone who is sluggish or someone who prefers to buy "things" rather than carry form insurance...which means passing bad their health care expenses to someone else.

Not singular that, but the public option could very all right cause a great deal of damage to people who do have honourable health coverage already...and I know Jesus would not approve of taking from one to give to another.
Nope, Jesus seperated himself from politics.

he would teach nation to care for one another.

why would he be for mandatory charity? shouldn't people rob care of each other because they craving to do so on their own free will?
nearby was no jesus. but since you asked here.
“A Jewish man was traveling on a trip from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he be attacked by bandits. They stripped him of his clothes, beat him up, and disappeared him half dead beside the road. By casual a priest came along. But when he saw the man lying there, he crossed to the other side of the road and passed him by. A Temple assistant walk over and looked at him lying there, but he also passed by on the other side. Then a despised Samaritan came along, and when he saw the man, he feel compassion for him. Going over to him, the Samaritan soothed his wounds with olive oil and wine and bandaged them. Then he put the man on his own donkey and took him to an inn, where on earth he took care of him. The next daylight he handed the innkeeper two silver coins, telling him, ‘Take caution of this man. If his bill runs higher than this, I’ll pay you the subsequent time I’m here.’ “Now which of these three would you say was a neighbor to the man who be attacked by bandits?” Jesus asked. The man replied, “The one who showed him mercy.” Then Jesus said, “Yes, now jump and do the same.
answer your question?
Cons like to wave their bibles and preach to everyone, but they don't close to to practice what they preach........ Just a bunch of hypocrites......
I won't bother finding a pitiful loophole around your grill, because the answer is obviously a big fat YES.
Everything I've heard about Jesus suggests that he would. Source(s): The sermon on the mount.
I am an agnostic(believer in reason, logic, and proof) but the Jesus of the Bible that I read would hold healed the sick with his own ability rather than mandated condition insurance.

whale
YES and it would be evil to influence other wise . Source(s): Older Christian Democrat
Vote? He would freshly wave his magic wand and poof theyd be heal
not the republicans jesus.
We all know that the one and only uninsured chose to:

A) Not pay for it,

or

B) Not enroll in a parliament program

or

Are illegal immigrants.

Wouldn't unlawful immigration be considered theft? That being said, Jesus is against a public prospect.
The rights idea of "christ like" is mortal anti choice and hating gay people.
...Jesus was smart ample not to involve Himself in politics.
No doubt about it .
It isn't free. He would ask that you help somebody not filch by force of IRS penalty. The choice is up to the individual.
Really -- for the last time --- there is no "free" healthcare individual proposed!
No, Jesus would tell them to buy their own health insurance. Stealing is wrong, and that's what National Health Insurance is. Stealing from me to endow with to Jose` and his 14 illegal kids.
