I have received a lot of emails, news links, and the like all summer long regarding the health care issue. They span the supportive spectrum, and of course include those who are absolutely against reform.
I have a simple response to all of those things: do to others what you want them to do to you (Jesus in his Sermon on the Mount).
I want to see the doctor when I am sick, and I want access to affordable medicine. If I want that, then who I am I do demand that it be denied to my neighbors, regardless of their employment, legal, or financial status?
You may say that health care is not a right. But think about this--everyone in our country has the right to receive an education. What would be the point of educating a mind that we have no intention of caring for medically?
