Thoughts on Health Care

Is it really all about me? Or is it all about us? The debate seems to frame the question in the concerns of those who already have health care and are made afraid that they will lose something of what they have.
How will this affect me?
What will this cost me?
I wonder. What if we saw it through the eyes of those who don't have access to health care? Those who have gone into bankruptcy because of health care costs?
Isn't there a moral imperative here.
What if, in God's eyes, the debate isn't about "us"? What if it's about them and justice for them? That seems consistent with biblical revelation and religious tradition.
We need to reclaim our tradition.
