What is shocking is the sheer determination of Republicans on Capitol Hill to strip millions of people of health care when everyone but the wilfully ignorant know such an action would kill thousands of people each year, year after year, decade after decade.  How can anyone in good conscience deliberately set out on an undertaking that will, beyond the shadow of a doubt, kill poor and low-income people?  It also seems Republicans have reversed the advice Jesus gave to the rich young man to sell what he had and give to the poor.  Instead, the current administration is determined to take from the poor and give to the rich.  Such actions have, in what is perhaps the most bitter irony of all, made the Republican Party the party of death representing what St. Pope John Paul II called the ‘culture of death.'  Such demonic policies are simply incompatible with Christianity and are the polar opposite of the what being 'pro-life' means.
