Health care is not a right for the elite, wealthy or Congress, it is a HUMAN right. A free market should not be able to dictate who is more worthy of living or dying due to lack of needed treatment and care. We fully support any legislation and candidate who believes quality care, required medication and medical services (including preventative care, dental health, prenatal/maternal care and mental health care) must be available to every person in this country regardless of status, past medical history or income level. Our country will never be equal or fully free until this day.

Jesus gave us the responsibility of caring for the sick – this is a common theme regarding Godly action and rule in the Old Testament as well, and a command to the Christians to intervene on  behalf of the sick.

Matthew 14:14

When Jesus landed and saw a large crowd, he had compassion on them and healed their sick.

Ezekiel 34:4

You have not strengthened the weak or healed the sick or bound up the injured. You have not brought back the strays or searched for the lost. You have ruled them harshly and brutally.

Matthew 25:44-46

“They also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you? He will reply, ‘I tell you the truth, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.’ Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life.”
