MEDICAL CARE

It should be the goal of every Christian to see that every person in The United States has full and complete access to medical care, regardless of their financial situation. Medical services should be provided according to need not according to a person's financial ability to pay.
As far as God is concerned, the whole American medical system, which is based on profit, is unacceptable. Caring for the sick should not be a profit making industry, but a public service. And until this situation is corrected the American medical system will never be acceptable to God.

The Kingdom Of God has actually been giving quite a bit of consideration to what They would support for a health care proposal for some time, and have decided that the only thing They could agree to would be a voucher system that would involve as little government interference as possible. They suggest a system that would work something like this. A box could be put on the tax forms that says "If you qualify do you request assistance making your health insurance payments?" If the person checks yes and their income makes them qualified a voucher would be sent with their tax return, which they could take to the insurance provider of their choice, and use to make their yearly insurance payment. A simple, easy system without creating a lot of unnecessary bureaucracy, simply using the existing systems. Of course the politicians won't like it because they won't be able to control it and get votes from it. But this is the kind of system that The Kingdom Of God wants, and the only thing They feel is acceptable.
