Speaking to a church crowd, Democrat Senate candidate James Talarico said scripture requires the government to guarantee health coverage according to a Breitbart report.
“Because health care is a human right. It is not a privilege,” Talarico said.
"If you read the New Testament, what does Jesus spend most of his time doing? It’s not preaching, it’s not teaching, healing the sick,”
Talarico said. “And in Matthew 25, scripture says that’s how we will be judged and how we will be saved. By healing the sick, by feeding the hungry, by welcoming the stranger, by visiting the prisoner.
