Iowa bishop on the government's role in health care.
Iowa bishop R. Walker Nickless in a message issued by the Diocese of Sioux City:
[T]he Catholic Church does not teach that government should directly provide health care. Unlike a prudential concern like national defense, for which government monopolization is objectively good—it both limits violence overall and prevents the obvious abuses to which private armies are susceptible—health care should not be subject to federal monopolization...
“In a culture of death such as we have now, taxation to redistribute costs of medical care becomes both unjust and unsustainable.”
