It needs to be considered UNACCEPTABLE to have people saying we're a "Christian nation" when the Christ of that Christian was one who healed people for free and then turn around and have such sub-par care at such a high price.

Lying is also a sin, another reason to declare Conservative Christians as adherents of a religion separate from Christians.
