I strive to bring reason to the shrill. Health care mandate. Health care reform. Health insurance. Auto insurance.
First, the health care mandate.
Why is mandating the purchase of health insurance different from vehicle insurance?
No one is addressing this seeming parallel. I am not a driver. Am I missing something? Tell me. I want to understand.
Health care reform.
To decision makers, I ask a simple question:
Do you believe that each of us is guaranteed that we will wake up tomorrow with the same capacities we had when we go to sleep tonight? On what basis? Do you believe in a God that shelters us from life's unavoidable realities? How does that influence your decision making?
Can you tell me what your medical needs will be tomorrow? What will the cost of those needs be? I do not know the precise sum of my needs. Yet, life has given me a good idea.
I pray we may celebrate the joys of our daily living. I pray we may embrace the sorrows of our soul's breathing. Simplistic though that may sound, that is how I define sanctity of life.
