Bernie Sanders touts Canada health care system, Wesley Smith snarks

People don't like change, and that drives the health care debate in the US but I'm sure if the change came and people experienced socialized medicine which is truly designed to bring good quality health care to all, then, they would fight to keep it.

Perhaps you mean to say a "humanitarian."
A "humanitarian" is a humanist putting belief into action.

That is completely untrue. A humanist rejects God entirely, which cannot always be said for the humanitarian. Calling a humanitarian a humanist in nature, is very unfair and contradictory. Just look at the American Humanist Association's main website and see how they label themselves. "Good without a God" as well as toting around a slogan such as "advocating progressive values and equality for humanists, atheists, and freethinkers". Any "Christian" supporting this ideology is beyond me.

The AHA does not represent all humanists not even just American humanists. I, as a Christian, totally support that slogan and I believe there are a great many more like me.

Yes, there are several different meanings for the word Humanist, but 'tryphena rose' is correct that the definition she gave is the one most often used.
If you want to make your case about ethics without doctrine or something like that, this probably isn't the word to use IF you don't mean what the AHA means by it.

Jesus had said "And if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand" Matthew 3:25.
How can you support a slogan that is so anti-God, yet call yourself a follower of God?

a slogan such as "advocating progressive values and equality for humanists, atheists, and freethinkers".
This slogan is not anti-God at all and "good without God" is not anti-God either it is simply acknowledges the simple fact that people can be good even if they don't acknowledge God. I have met many and I daresay so have you.

That is a rather poor attempt at a joke. It verges on outright dishonesty. Canadians would go to war to protect their medicare. In fact we are putting pressure on the politicians to introduce pharmacare. As for timely care, I have no complaint at all.
