I am not sure if I am intelligent enough to dig through all the misinformation so I will keep my comment simple.
I am happy with my insurance. The United Methodist Church provides excellent insurance for the clergy in our system. Unfortunately, the cost for churches continue to rise but that is for another day.
The point is not that I am happy with my health care. As a follower of Jesus, I have to ask, "Am I happy with my neighbors health care?" I am part of a church that takes seriously meeting the needs of the poor. Weekly we have people walk in our office looking for assistance for house payments, car payments, rent, and medical bills. I don't know the answer to the debate. I do know the faith community needs to be part of this debate. BTW: health care has its beginnings with the church. The church is called upon to serve the poor and the widow. Would we be having this debate if the church took serious its call to serve the "least of these?"
