    The Parable of the Good Samaritan:

    29 But he wanted to justify himself, so he asked Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?”

    30 In reply Jesus said: “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, when he was attacked by robbers. They stripped him of his clothes, beat him and went away, leaving him half dead. 31 A priest happened to be going down the same road, and when he saw the man, he passed by on the other side. 32 So too, a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. 33 But a Samaritan, as he traveled, came where the man was; and when he saw him, he took pity on him. 34 He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he put the man on his own donkey, brought him to an inn and took care of him. 35 The next day he took out two denarii[c] and gave them to the innkeeper. ‘Look after him,’ he said, ‘and when I return, I will reimburse you for any extra expense you may have.’

    36 “Which of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of robbers?”

    37 The expert in the law replied, “The one who had mercy on him.”

    Jesus told him, “Go and do likewise.”

    Jesus is too liberal for y’all. Definitely don’t go and do likewise.

    Public health care covers all kinds of public health care, this shouldn’t be news but trans people being treated like anyone else seems to rile up the right.

      Well the other part of it is paying for illegal immigrants to get a procedure when citizens don’t get that.

        Citizens also qualify for Medi-Cal, I’m not sure where you got the idea they don’t.

        The government shouldn’t be paying for cosmetic surgery at all. This is my main concern with universal coverage which I support. They won’t control the cost.

          Do you mean elective cosmetic surgery or cosmetic surgery in general? I certainly want my public health care to cover people disfigured in accidents, for example.
