“And, fifty years ago lots of Christians considered it to be a lack of faith in God to have health insurance. Ain’t that something to think about.”
The times have definitely changed... At least partly, I think, because parents can now be considered criminally negligable if they allow a suffering child to become crippled or die because they didn’t believe in medicine. Polio was thought to be eradicated until recently Amish children started getting it because their parents chose not to get them vaccinated.
Certain people have always expected God to do everything for them, instead of making any effort to take responcibility for their own lives. God is there to provide support and love, not welfare, and I think more people realize that today than did fifty years ago.
You misunderstood. People got medical care for their children just fine. They just didn’t think medical insurance was necessary.
