The Least of these...

Jesus told us that whatever we have done to the least you have done unto me... You feed the hungry cloth the naked and heal the sick and when you do that you are doing it like it is done to me.

I watched Micheal Moore's movie the other night. SICKO

Something inside me realized that we have got to figure out how to take care of the least in our nation who for whatever reason are not taken care off by the health industry. I think we all know someone who has been hit with a medical emergency and it has effected every area of there life. Financially they are hurting which causes there spirit to hurt and meanwhile there body is hurting.

All I know is that Jesus told us to take care of those who are hurting among us. I love our doctors and nurses and paramedics. I know that most of them are in this field for the right reason. I do have concerns with the making of money off of health care. Working in a non-profit setting I do what i do because I feel called and it fulfills me to no end. I know that getting into the non-profit sector is not the place to be for making money. But How can the health care sector be any different. We help people when they are at there lowest.

Doctors and Nurses should make lots of money. I want a well paid and happy person working on me when I am sick. But I wonder if our system works really well for those who can afford it and for those who are cant if it lets them down. I think we would all agree we pay a high price for health care in this country and something needs to be done so that we take care of the least of our society.

Hey Tor,
That kind of stuff makes me sad too...I know the system is whacky, but I couldn't even begin to fix it. Check out this site from a family I used to work for...it makes you think.
