In an article on CNN.com’s Belief Blog, CNN writer John Blake says that, while famous pastors “preach in states where crosses and church steeples dot the skyline,” they do nothing about “the poor who can’t get the health insurance they would receive if they lived elsewhere.”
That refers, in turn, to the decision of twenty-five states not to participate in Obamacare’s expanded Medicaid funding. The states were allowed to opt out following last year’s controversial Supreme Court decision on Obamacare, which upheld the law as a whole but struck down the mandatory state participation in Medicaid expansion, citing the protection provided to state powers under the Tenth Amendment.

Yes.
There are already skirmishes across America as we speak. People are being conditioned to view Christianity as the enemy.
If the author has a few hours to spare I’d be happy to give him a detailed report regarding my Church’s ministries and how they help the poor.
One quarter of all hospitals are Catholic, and numerous more are Protestant and Jewish.
If you’re going to lie, might as well make it a big one.
It's hard to take care of the poor after the federal government confiscates 40% of your income. Let us keep just half of that, and you won't have to spend a dime.
Hey, yuh may bay onto supine there, huh Devil Worshipin, Satanic Inspired, Communists.
You caught us.
Yeah, our take is we’ll help them get medical care.which is vastly more important than insurance
That's what I'm hoping for. This may be the best opportunity in a long time to rid the state of 5th-generation welfare lifers. Hopefully, they will move to other places up North that embrace socialism like Pennsylvania, Maryland, and New York.
My brand new local hospital was built by the Jesuits. How many hospitals has CNN built?
If the church was given back the money to spend as it saw fit there would be an explosion of life in the church as the oppressed began to have their needs met on a personal level...not a bureaucratic level.
The revival's coming. It takes awhile...but it's coming.
- The non-working “poor” that spend our tax dollars on drugs, booze, huge HDTV’s, food stamps on crappy or expensive food deserve a kick in the butt and nothing else - except deportation or mandatory 50-hours/wk required work and zero housing, food, money, welfare, medical care
- Moochers, Leeches, Users, “Entitled”, etc.
“Christian Evangelicals are to be the ‘Jews’ of Obama’s Great Third Reich?”
well, it was jeremiah wright who said the jews won’t let him get near Obama (I assume, axlerod, Emanuel, etc), so many its their plan to do a third reich against us and Obama doesn’t really care for white Christians anyway.
Excellent. I’ll have to reference that when I talk to some of those hypocrite liberals.
CNN has a ton of cash. Haven’t built as much as a VD clinic.
I am sick of these pompous azzes questioning other people's Christianity. I'm curious as to what Mr. Blake has done for the poor. When was the last time he donated to a food bank? When was the last time he gave clothing for the poor? Did he ever put a dollar in a Salvation Army kettle?
Yeah, I didn't think so.
Personally, I give thousands of dollars to the poor in Africa. For dental care (abscessed teeth), wheelchairs, AIDS, and other basic healthcare. I would like to know what Mr. Blake is doing to help the poor.
Government gets a lot of my money to help poor in Africa but we know it doesn’t trickle down to the poor.
Mr. Blake, I am a Christian and I am insulted you saying I don’t care for the poor. Again, Iif you’re so concerned about the poor, I would like to know what you are doing to help them. I wonder if your words are hollow.
