If you have ever wondered what evangelical pastors think about Medicaid, this article from CNN will enlighten you? http://religion.blogs.cnn.com/....
I personally have had Baptist pastors tell me that taxing people to help the poor is contrary to Christian theology. So far as I know, none of them have advised their parishioners to refuse Social Security, Medicare, VA benefits, or non-profit tax exemption for church property and pastoral housing allowances. And, I don't mean to be partial to one denomination. I just have not put this question to others.
