Removing sick individuals from government healthcare programs in the name of “saving money” is a clear example of prioritizing the love of money over love for our fellow human beings.
As someone who follows the teachings of Jesus and deeply values compassion, I cannot in good conscience support any policy or action that denies medical care to those in need, even if they are not necessarily American citizens. This is not just a political issue—it is a moral and ethical one. Caring for the sick is a foundational expression of love, and turning our backs on the vulnerable for the sake of budget cuts is a profound failure of empathy.
If your desire to save tax dollars outweighs your concern for the health and dignity of your neighbor, that is deeply tragic. And yet, I offer you my sincerest blessings—not in condemnation, but in hope. Hope that one day, you’ll come to value human life more than fiscal savings, and love for others more than attachment to money.
Another deeply dishonorable and ethically troubling stance is the opposition to providing healthcare for immigrants simply because they are not American citizens. This position reveals a toxic and exclusionary mindset—one that says we only care for those who are like us. It is a mindset rooted in division, not compassion, and it stands in direct contradiction to the teachings of Jesus.
Jesus taught us to love one another—not conditionally, not selectively, but universally. His message was one of radical inclusion and unity, grounded in the truth that we are all one. To insist “they are not us” is to openly reject that sacred truth. It is to declare that our moral obligations only apply to those within our tribe, our borders, or our likeness. But this is not what Jesus taught.
This is where the Golden Rule becomes especially relevant: “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” If you were in desperate need of medical care in a foreign land, would you not hope that someone—anyone—would show you compassion? Would you not pray that the people of that nation would see you as a fellow human being, not as a burden or an outsider?
Many who oppose healthcare for non-citizens do so for economic or fiduciary reasons. But if we truly wish to live by the teachings of Jesus, we must rise above our financial fears and political boundaries. To deny care to others simply because they were born elsewhere is not just uncharitable—it is a complete abandonment of the values Jesus lived and died for.
In refusing to help those in need because “they’re not like us,” we are not defending our country—we are betraying our conscience. And in doing so, we reduce the Gospel to nothing more than a flag-waving slogan, rather than a transformative call to love without condition
