Republican Senator callously says 'biblically, we are supposed to work' to millions set to lose health care - eviltoast

The former billionaire, who inherited a coal mining business from his father, presides over a state where 29% of residents are on Medicaid

When Senator Jim Justice of West Virginia was asked about the Senate Republicans’ newly released portion of the proposed spending bill that requires parents of children older than 14 to work for Medicaid, he said, “biblically, we are supposed to work.”

    yeah and “biblically” we’re supposed to be feeding, clothing, washing, and housing the homeless as Jesus commanded. We’re supposed to be taking care of the ill, as Jesus commanded. We’re supposed to “love thy neighbour” and treat everyone, regardless of their gender, race, sexual orientation, equally as Jesus commanded.

    But of course we’re not doing any of that and according to the Bible and Jesus that’s an instant ticket to “Hell”.

    If Heaven exists it must be a fairly empty place.
