Paul Ryan Is Like Jesus, But It’s Not What You Think

…available to everybody and becomes popular. We should always have a safety net. Health care should always be accessible, basic health care always. But it should be available as a safety net, not as a general lifestyle that almost discourages people from seeking real human flourishing. The budget deal won’t make these arguments go away.
