Jesus would support assisting the poor with desperately needed help so, yes, Jesus would support Obamacare. He must wonder now how some of His followers could turn such a cold shoulder to low-income families and the poor. Jesus supported paying taxes to the brutal and decadent Roman Empire that demanded it's citizens worship it's leader as God. How pathetic the rightwingers and Tea Partiers must look to Him now when they have a much more benevolent government with the most checks and balances to government power the world has ever seen. Actually He doesn't wonder, He clearly sees that the religious right & Tea Partiers in the midst of prosperity and comfort have substituted their market god for Him.
It's something about the parable of the sheep and the goats. And those of the religious right who thought they were on the spiritual right will say but when did we see You suffering from cancer or heart disease because You could not get help. When did we see You dying or Your family dying because medical coverage was too high and when did we see You losing your home because of medical bankruptcy. Then He will say: You did not see it because you were too concerned about your money, your tax cuts and your market ideology that serves yourself. You did not see it because in your heart you substituted that for Me.
Jesus Christ is about loving people.. He is about bringing salvation to those that will receive it and helping the poor and those in need demonstrating the love of God. He encourages government and it's responsible application and we should accept that our misplaced priorities are no exuse for not doing what we should be doing. When you oppose healthcare help for others YOU are ignoring them as did the goats. When you support healthcare help for others YOU are helping them. You're decision makes the difference in their lives. It's not about politics, it's about people, even the least of us.
