Health Care and Christians! What's Up With That?

Well, I am overwhelmed with feelings and thoughts about my Country today. I hear alot about the violent threats to legislators in US Congress and I am very sad about that. I wish the health reform was stronger to include universal health care. Health care for everyone in U.S. is an issue very close to my heart and values. I am a Progressive Christian and judged by my strong feelings toward social justice. I don't understand being a Christian and not caring about the health and welfare of people in my community. Do you have to be rich to be able to afford health insurance? What?? Or receive affordable health care?? How can they be Pro-Life and anti health care for all. What is the threat to helping others with government funds? Now, the poor uninsured people I know, have to go to the Emergency room with cold or flu issues with no follow up with a doctor and a cost to them and to us. Is this the value added health care we boast about. I can't help but think some people are angry because they "got theirs" and too bad for the others... who cares. I know this is a little scattered, my feelings are going in many directions.
And what about this violence?? I don't get it.
