Parents should have primary responsibility for their children, including health insurance. The more parental rights that are ceded to government, the more authority we relinquish to government.
Jesus's admonition to care "for the least" is personal, not governmental, but since the Left thinks government is God it believes in constantly expanding government. Notice the same Scripture it twists to justify more spending and bigger government, it ignores when it comes to sex, abortion, marriage and all sorts of other things. The Right does the same, of course, when it mostly ignores poverty and justice issues.
The more power government exercises over us, the fewer rights we are likely to retain. For families that are poor and unable to afford insurance for their children, the current S-Chip program remains to cover poor children.
