Members of Lowpoint Baptist Church in Louisiana, home church of Republican Governor Bobby Jindal, are upset over something they allegedly saw in his Bible.

Witnesses say after the service last Sunday, they found a Bible on a pew near where Jindal and his family had been sitting. After inspection they discovered it belonged to the Governor. But the members became upset when they saw dozens of passages crossed out of the Jindal Bible.

William "Billy" Johnson was able to take a picture of the Bible with his cell phone camera before it was allegedly returned to Jindal. The photo shows a page from the Gospel of Mark, with several passages crossed out. The passages all refer to Jesus healing the sick.

(note suspicious lack of photo)

The United States is one of the few industrialized nations in the world which does not have a single-payer health care system, such as the British system.

That's not true. The Industrial nations have various forms of health care, most with multiple payers, but with universal coverage. Only the UK, Canada and Taiwan have single payer (I believe).

We weren't friends or anything, but I don't believe he was a christian at the time.

From what I understand of the British system it's not single payer only, you can still buy supplemental to improve your care. (I stand ready to be firmly corrected on this one though as my memory has gotten spotty with age and alcohol)
