Christians who believe in the sanctity of life ought to be concerned about any health care system overhaul that will increase abortions. But our conviction about life should also lead us to care about the 45 million Americans who lack health insurance and therefore receive inadequate care. We should care that the uninsured are 1.6 times more likely to die from cancer than those with insurance who are diagnosed and treated earlier. We should care that we have a system that discriminates against those with preexisting conditions, the weakest and most vulnerable in our society. Our belief in the value of life should drive us to seek a system that will care for our brothers and sisters after they are born and not just before. Skye Jethani ☀
