1) Jesus did NOT use the state to provide healthcare, nor did the NT church...rather they taught individuals to provide for the poor.

Would you care to cite a verse for us where Jesus said the state was not to provide healthcare or otherwise provide for the poor?

I'd like to point out that in Leviticus 14:21-22, the offering that was to be made when a person was cleansed of tsara’at was lessened for the poor, (as were other offerings in other circumstances as well). It would appear to me that God is in favor of adjusting charges for health care downward for those unable to pay the the full price.

Government was certainly around during that time, but honestly I'm not sure when government assistance was first implemented in a country, let alone thought of.

Does the phrase bread and circuses mean anything to you?

Subsidized grain for the poor first began to be distributed in Rome under Gaius Gracchus in 123 BC and the subsidies grew greater over the centuries.  Wasn't until the 19th century that governments started dealing with health care in a general fashion, but until then it was arguable if going to a doctor was a boon or a bane for most people.  It was his doctors' efforts to care for him that most likely killed George Washington.
