You see, Jesus probably wouldn't lie like the congress is. He would probably use common sense & explain to those idiots that believe this garbage that they don't have the slightest grasp of math, economics or medicine and that they're not fit to run a lemonade stand, let alone health care.
I didn't realize that Jesus was big on economics of the material world and a verbal abuser to boot!

If we hypothetically (and this is a huge hypothetical) take it as given that Jesus did in fact exist, and he was actually what people claimed he was and the writings about the early church are true...then he would insure anyone.

The premium would be all of your worldly possessions. Luke 14:32

And as is often the case with current health insurers, being dropped from the plan due to lack of payment could actually be a death sentence. Acts 5:1-11

I wonder if you know just how many thousands of times I have heard stupid stuff like this? It seems to be the only response that christians can come up with, threatening those that see things differently. Let me ask you this, if someone threatens you on a regular basis, are you likely to co-operate? My guess is, only if you are a wimp. In case no one has ever mentioned this to you before, belief through attempted intimidation isn't very effective.

If you don't believe in a god or in religion, what do you have to worry about? Although with your response you seem to have some subconscious concerns...

LOL, and of course, you may believe as you wish.

Jesus wouldn't have to insure everyone, he could simply wave his hand and everyone would be magically cured.

Yeah, actually Jesus called out thieves and liars a few times in the Bible. He called out the religious crew that was more concerned with their teachings than his too.

He probably wouldn't have fallen for all the liars saying we've got people dying in the streets because they don't have health care. He would probably understand that the left are liars using anything they can to get total control over the health care industry. He's not an idiot like so many that are pushing for this.
