There may be some retrospective(*) religious inspired idea that health
care for poor people is inherently bad for the country but to me this
sort of 'reasoning' does indeed make no sense.

I believe you, it is just that we here don't see that as often (i.e.
almost not at all). Perhaps because things like the above do not make
sense if you publish them in a Dutch newspaper, other than 'those silly
americans', and what is the news value of that?
*) first you have an idea and then you try to find a religious sounding
reasoning for it.
