Somebody started an internet discussion about socialized medicine and brought up
this verse to try to support their cause. I had to remind them that the instruction is for individuals voluntarily acting out their own charity. It is
not telling society at large that they should take money from some people at gunpoint and redistribute the wealth. Top-down socialism: NOT in the Bible, sorry.
