magazine ads for alcohol
Do Christians feel that everyone deserves healthcare?

I was at my fundy sisters house last weekend and was reading a magazine called “World.” It’s a born-again version of “Time” or “Newsweek.” I was shocked to find three ads for healthcare “insurance” companies for Christians that worked on the principles of not covering certain conditions. They wouldn’t cover anything that had to do with an “immoral” lifestyle.

Could you help me understand what this means? It can’t mean abortions, because no insurance covers that anyway. One of the companies said they refused to cover anything to do with drugs or alcohol or things like AIDS.

If you support this type of mindset, can you help me understand what SHOULD be done with someone who has a drug or alcohol related problem? What about a sexually transmitted disease? Do you really believe we should just let them die? Please help me understand.

Obviously not look at this article where british run charity RAM deliver free healthcare to people in Tennessee, there is a queue around the block, this charity was set up to do work in the third world but now does 60% of its work with the working poor in america.
