Who would have thought 20 years ago that the subject of health insurance could get such widespread national attention? Town hall meetings, TEA parties, Congressional debates, endless arguments on cable TV, just to name a few of the forums for airing our opinions on the questions of how best to insure everyone's health needs. It's amazing how many people can take such disparate views on a subject, each one being convinced he/she has taken the correct position.
Sounds a lot like the age-old debate over religious truth doesn't it? Some say there is no absolute truth (and they're absolutely certain of that), while some say all truths are equal and lead to the same place, while others claim only their truth is the right one.
Of course, in the area of "eternal health insurance", I don't think anyone would want their government to be making the key decisions, not even those who favor the "public option" in health insurance. And certainly we wouldn't want to leave to our legislators the responsibility of deciding which eternal plan fits best.
Fortunately, the Author of life has already passed a Law of eternal welfare, though in a most un-democratic way. God is the ultimate Autocrat (the power resides solely in Himself) when it comes to declaring how spiritually sick mankind may be healed. No debate, no pundits' opinions, no stumping to get everyone on board, just a simple declaration: All have sinned, all may be saved through faith in the Lamb of God, the Lord Jesus Christ. Not Blue Cross, but Calvary's Cross is what we need.
Anyone interested in their eternal health needs to think very seriously before they take any other "policy", or before they decide "I'm fine, I'm sure I won't need coverage." Whatever are the implications for the current health care debate, the implications for eternal health are far greater, and worthy of at least as much interest as people are giving to what's going on in Washington.
