"And no man shall save thee". Not "no man except the liberals", not "no man except the Big Government"... if the Lord wanted people to help the disabled, He'd have let us know.

They make me sick - those "modern" doctors who presume the power to alter the course of God's will.
When people are diseased, they are diseased for a Godly purpose.
John 9:1
And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth.
John 9:2
And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?
John 9:3
Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.
Suppose some busybody, do-good doctor had performed eye-surgery on the blind man to "help" him. If the works of God had not been made manifest - then where would we all be today??
Jesus even allowed his best friend (the man he loved) to die, just to show the world the extent of His power:
John 11:4
When Jesus heard that, he said, This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God might be glorified thereby.
The moral is: leave the healing of the sick to God. Don't try to out-guess His divine purposes.
