Now where does Medicare fit these definition? There is nothing wrong with helping those that are old and infirm and can not take care of themselves. As a matter of Christianity, James told us true religion is to take care of the Widows and Fatherless in their afflictions. It didn't say everyone should become afflicted so we are all the same.
