Why we need a Universal Healthcare System in America

...because the Church isn't doing it.

In my opinion, the only practical solution for those who are against a Universal Healthcare System in America, is to beat the government at its own game. If Christians would actually DO the Gospel, they would fill the void that the government is trying to fill.

But sadly, as a whole, we have failed to BE the Church and DO the Gospel, giving our government the perfect segue to attempt to do (expensively) what the Church should have been doing all along. I don't mean writing a check so someone else can do the work. I mean making the food, and bringing it, along with clothes, directly to the people that need it, or seeing to their care when sick. (cf. Mt. 25:41-46)
