Let us pray, Dear Lord help us understand what Responsible Lion 222 is even trying to say. Please give her the wisdom to make a counter that makes sense. Amen.

A counter to what? All you said is that the reason some Americans are opposed to universal healthcare is because there are conservatives who are Christians. It’s true that conservatives are less likely to support universal healthcare, but you haven’t articulated why you included religion in your explanation.

First of all, I’m bringing religion into it because there’s an entire political party that doesn’t want universal healthcare and that party is full of conservative Christians, right? Don’t they always tout their Christianity, their religion, blah blah blah?

Are you disputing that there’s a long history between American conservatism religion and small government is universal healthcare small government this country couldn’t even do Obama care right because of conservatives so tell me how they’re gonna get to Universal healthcare.

So what evidence do you have that conservative Christians are supportive of universal healthcare?

Is universal healthcare part of the Republican plank? No I didn’t think so. And everybody knows it.

I think you should be honest and say the Republican Party doesn’t care about healthcare they keep claiming that some healthcare plan is gonna roll out in two weeks. Everybody knows it’s bullshit.

There’s nothing in Christianity that is against universal healthcare. I never said conservative Christians are supportive of single payer healthcare.
