Considering Health Care Reform Christianly


What are Christians, namely in the US, to think about health care reform? Here is a statement that I think should serve as a framework for Christians in the health care debate:

Neither the age to which a person lives, nor the amount of health enjoyed by that person truly affects life. So rather than focusing on the potential decline of capitalism, we must focus on the consistent decline of the gospel; the availability of heath care is perhaps in the balance, but eternal health is absolutely in the balance. Indeed we should seek to find our proper place in the health care debate, but we must realize that humanity does not divide into healthy or unhealthy, but into dead in Adam or alive in Christ.

Where do we go from here?
