Jesus healed quite a few people without government assistance.

"Jesus healed quite a few people without government assistance."

Precisely right.

And he did it in spite of the protests of the jewish clerical establishment complaining about the "violation" of the Sabbath.

Voluntary charity...is something that should transcend all naysaying rules. And so should our encouraging people to give...but only voluntarily... Even now doctors and hospitals give hundreds of millions, even perhaps billions of their own time and monies in charitable health services. And the drug companies are also pledged ...and provably willing to send out their pharmaceuticals to those demonstrably incapable of buying the needed medications.

This governmental monstrosity would effectively supplant private charity...and destroy the spirit of good samaritanism...and America would become like Europe...devoid of spirit and life.
