Jimmy Carter quote on ACA.

"If you don't want your tax dollars to help the poor, then quit saying you want a country based on Christian values. Because you don't."

Actually it is probably not about ACA but it could be. I found it in comments section of NYTimes article about states not accepting federal dollars for Medicaid expansion under the ACA.
