Why isn't "The Church" supporting the health-care bill

I have not seen public support from any religious institution for the health care bill. These are the same institutions that vehemently oppose abortion, and intervened in Terry Schiavo's case.

One would think that health care is a basic issue that churches would be involved with, but none is. Why is this?

One possible explanation is that many churches are being run not by people who care about religion and people, but by politicians. Instead of religion having entered politics, maybe politics has entered religion. These politicians who are acting as church-leaders are now making political decisions, not human decisions that are considered in the purview of religion.
