Leaders Who Disregard the Well Being of Their Constituents are Destined to Suffer

The Lord is the seed giving Father in everyone's heart, and as such every living being is dear to Him. If anyone - especially leaders and lawmakers, are callous toward any living entity, they will be punished by the laws of nature which were created by God for the guidance of human beings. The duty of government officials and leaders is to provide for the well being of the citizens.

The supporters of the Graham/Cassidy "health care" bill (including the President) claim that the measure keeps in place protections for people with preëxisting conditions, but experts have concluded that this bill affects about fifty-five million Americans, and many of them "would be unable to purchase comprehensive coverage with premiums close to those under current law and might not be able to purchase coverage at all.”

The Vedas describe the fate of those who are callous and devoid of empathy and compassion. For example, those who enact such laws as this simply for political reasons, (even if they claim to be good Christians), ignoring the suffering they would cause the people they are supposed to represent:

“When someone worships the Deity of Lord Visnu, but disrespects or disregards Lord Visnu residing in everyone's heart, then they also go to hell - what to speak of committing offense or violence to a Vaisnava devotee! If someone offends or tortures even an ordinary living entity yet worships Lord Visnu, the Lord of every living entity, then all their worship is worthless, and they suffer great pain. It is verified that to worship Lord Visnu on one hand, but on the other hand to be ignorant about Lord Visnu as the Supersoul in everyone's heart is like touching a brahmana's feet for blessings with one hand while beating him on the head with the other.” - Caitanya Bhāgavata, Madhya Lila, Chapter 5
