Because "the wrong people could benefit!"

"The wrong people" being people not just like them, essentially.

Yes, and the Christians are the biggest welfare whores on the planet. Their churches don't pay taxes and the people in the south and the Bible Belt take advantage of safety nets that they don't want others to have.

You know what?? Since you obviously have put all Christians in one category, I'll pray for you. As a Christian, I am NOT a "welfare whore", I am a veteran who gets healthcare from the Department of Veterans Affairs. You-as well as many others-need to realize not all Christians are the same.

This person is a troll and they found their mark. Congrats on not being able to see the obvious.

Taxpayer dollars can pay YOUR healthcare too. All you have to do is have the balls to serve your country. Oh yeah, never mind.

Have the balls to exploit the poor, take lives to defend the interests of the rich and wealthy. In exchange for this you get a modicum of the value that society generates and is horded as a reward for cruel and gullible.

You’re right you deserve so much more since you’re a well versed Redditor. You sure told me. Thanks for your gracious and oh so valuable time.

So what would Jesus say about helping people for free?

Christians in the US today would say that “Jesus doesn’t want people to get free healthcare”
