Dr. David P. Gushee: Christian Convictions And The Health Care Law

Dr. David P. Gushee: Christian Convictions And The Health Care Law: "I believe that extending health care access to every American was always the right goal and reflects the moral commitments of the Christian faith. Any way one might come at this issue morally, the answer was always the same: health care as a human right; as an aspect of compassion for our neighbors; as doing to others as we would have them do to us; as a dimension of basic justice; or as an aspect of the kingdom of God, one of whose characteristics is healing of the sick. Everything points in the same direction. I therefore find incomprehensible those Christians who are cavalier about a society with fifty million people lacking adequate access to health care."
