poorest of us. Paying an insurance company is the same as paying taxes, except that with the latter, you can be sure your brother will be covered and won't be treated like a charity case. Are you your Brother's Keeper, or a hypocritical Christian or other?
--------------------
With health insurance, I cannot be sure that my brother -- or anyone else -- "will be covered and won't be treated like a charity case". Insurance companies are notorious for collecting money from the poor, telling them that they have insurance, and then letting them die to save the cost of providing them with the coverage that they purchased. Someone who says he or she is a Brother's Keeper and a Christian, but pays money to a con artist or murderer, is a hypocritical Christian. When asking whether Christians should pay taxes, Jesus pointed to the image of Caesar (the Roman equivalent of a U.S. President) on the money used by the Christian's, and said "Give to Caesar [the govenment] what is Caesar's [money]."
