There should not be any Medicaid or Medicare. Paying people’s medical bills isn’t the job of the federal government (or IMO, the state government, though depending on how they raised the revenue, that decision could properly be left up to the individual states). But under established law, any institution receiving taxpayer funding may be subjected to all the regulations that would apply if the institution was completely public. No reason why Catholic hospitals should get a pass.

Applying the law rigorously will encourage more voters to understand why the socialist welfare state is antithetical to freedom, and to vote for candidates who will dismantle it. But I have no sympathy for the Catholic Church or its affiliated institutions, since they have actively promoted the expansion of the socialist welfare state. They made their own bed, and I don’t want to hear them whining about having to lie in it.

And it should never rain on Sunday, but it does and there is. Your arugments are obsolete. Want to end socialist programs? End the progressive income tax, until that ends socialist programs are a fact, jack. And you might get more then two people to vote for (real) tax reform.
