Pseudo-Polymath has posted on Christian duty and health care, and used one of my quotes, though I’m not sure what the relevance of the quote is. His comments, however, are interest, and are making me think. As the son of a missionary MD (father) and RN (mother) I’m very interested in the topic and may respond after further cogitation. In the meantime, read!
… from Allan Bevere. This relates to my earlier post, The Real War on Christmas.
Gaegan Goddard’s Political Wire reports that John McCain thinks he will be the last candidate to accept federal matching funds. One of the best savings, though small, we could make at the federal level would be to end public financing and also end all of the regulations on fundraising except for transparency.
I wrote some more thoughts for my wife’s devotional list on the same topic as my post Silent Witness. We are works in progress. Imperfection is a fact, but it shouldn’t be an excuse.
Read it here. While many people get there updates on this blog, I now post all moderate Christian blogroll data on the Moderate Christian Blogroll Blog.
Troy Britain has it absolutely right on freedom of speech, with the added bonus that I get to agree with Christopher Hitchens at the same time, which doesn’t happen nearly as often.
I have a post today at the World Prayer Blog that discusses measuring the results of prayer.

I’ll look forward to any response. I had two reasons for including your post, the relevance as you noted was somewhat oblique.
I had a few reasons for tagging you. First to show, the idea of Schmamann’s on what Christian healthcare might looks like was not typical of our Christian dialog on healthcare … and your post was more in line with what you usually see. I also (selfishly?) was hoping to get you to comment or reply on your blog to those thoughts and hoped that by quoting you would spur that, which I see it might. Finally, I was hoping to get my few readers (who don’t already read your blog) to read your post.
One of our children and their spouse and children were under a Christian health plan. It turned out that they were as difficult to deal with, if not more difficult, to get them to cover what their plan said they should cover. It was a long, agonizing process until the company finally paid up. Then our our child and spouse dropped the plan. It makes a bad name for people of faith when so-called “Christian” companies do not live up to Christian ethics and care.
