Jim Garlow Calls For A National Tax To Fund Church-Provided Healthcare – By Safiyah Riddle / July 13 2017
Last month, right-wing pastor Jim Garlow was interviewed by Megan West of the organization My Faith Votes, where he claimed that “healthcare is God’s issue” and suggested that the government should impose a tax on citizens that could be given to churches so that they could provide healthcare to the poor.
