Interesting point, Wendy. My father, an ardent Christian Scientist, may
have to weigh in on this one. :):):)
I suppose opposing the expansion of healthcare in any form is a way of
rejecting the falsehood of mortal medicine, and encourage people to
adopt a "faith-based" approach to healing.
However, the rhetorical question of "Who would Jesus deny healthcare
to?" comes to mind.
I'm going to stop typing now, before I am struck my lightening......
