Jack van Dijk: Christians are supposed to care for sick

Regarding the Jan. 8 news article “Andy Griffith’s hometown hopes Trump will make America great again”: I learned that at the last election, 71 percent (based on exit polls) of the evangelicals voted for Donald Trump.

Now Trump will repeal the ACA, thus destroying a decent, not perfect, health care plan.

If those evangelicals are also Christians, maybe they can explain how they can take away a health care option from people.

Maybe the motto should be “Make America Sick Again.” In any case, this fellow, Jesus, may have something to say about it.
