In many places around the world, healthcare is a live political issue, especially in the US where there are millions of people without adequate health care, where medical bankruptcies are common, there are problems accessing insurance, the Obamacare wars of the last decade, and government in bed with Big Pharma.
Starting my working life in the NHS, and subsequently working in health in Australia, I can’t imagine working in a system that prevents people accessing the care they need due to financial constraints . It’s a no brainer , especially for a Christian .
This is not a full Christian case for universal healthcare, as I am sure is not the scope of the post. Are there books or resources that do argue from a Christian perspective for universal healthcare? It's not so obvious to many Christians here in the USA.
