My Son broke his arm (type 3 fracture) last week. We went to our local ER and were seen immediately. We ended up spending 3 nights in hospital and having multiple surgeries to pin and correct the break. He's on a 6 week care plan with scheduled appointments with a specialist team.
Want to guess how much it cost us? $0 (or 1.5% bracketed tax of my income per year) b-b-but that's socialism!!
No we don't have fancy private health insurance, we just live in a country that doesn't punish it's citizens for being poor.
The USA needs a revolution.
Well you see, not having good insurance shows god's disfavor. It's all part of his mysterious plan that those with insurance were going to get cheated further out of their agreed upon insurance plan, and the government to be paid off by that insurance to allow it.
So while we, as Christians, especially Evangelicals and Calvinists and Baptists and the like, would love to help the poor, doing so would be to defy god's will. It was predestined that we were to be selfish assholes actively trying to hurt the poors in every way.
The Prosperity Doctrine and social darwinism decree that they are poor because that's the way god intended for it to be. I am a wealthy selfish prick because I have god's favour. Tough break. /s
