“Liberal talker Ed Schultz called socializing healthcare a “moral obligation” ... “

No Ed, Christ’s teaching centers on YOU personally helping the poor-out of your pocket and your time, but by YOUR own free will choice. Free will is a big part of this, you see.
The manadates of an envy-driven, class warfare socialist state in which your tithe to the poor is coerced literally at the point of a gun, is not, in the least, Christ-like.
Socialism in no way satisfies the Christian requirement to help the needy.
For those advocating it without their own skin in the game, it does nothing, for they have desire without substance.
For those being forced to “help”, their “contribution” counts for naught because they aren’t doing it of their own choice.
2 Corinthians 9:7 (New International Version)
7Each man should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.
