Universal health coverage should be the federal government’s responsibility

This blog is about health care. But it could just as
easily be about the financial crisis, the war, the
environment, education, or any number of social
issues before us today. Because, to my mind, there is
a great confluence among the issues of our day. You
can analyze them through the same lens and come to
the same conclusion each time.
And that conclusion is this: we need change.
And my own personal conviction is: I believe we need change because of what I believe about God.
The title of the blog comes from an episode of a great new NPR show called "Intelligence Squared." The show originally comes from England. Participants engage in an "Oxford Style Debate," for and against a particular motion. Three speakers "for," and three speakers "against."
I picked health care because:
1) It's on a LOT of people's minds, and
2) Because Dr. Kellermann's essay is so good.
What follows after the jump is the speech by Dr. Art Kellermann from that program, and a long essay by me written just this morning. (Read the rest. Click here)

People
Sometimes soon, when time permits, I'll blog more
fully on the life of Judge Barefoot Sanders, our
friend and church member who died this past week.
His memorial service was at our church a week ago today, and sometime this week we'll be adding a video page to the church's website, so that folks can enjoy the videos there.
But those of you who read my blog (and, by extension, my Facebook) get this advanced look: (Read the rest. Click here)
