Christians and Health Care

As the threat of a crisis in our current health care system looms larger and health care spending continues to increase, the sustainability of our current employer-based health care system comes into question. How can we reform health care and see to it that more people have access to it? Is the hotly-debated health care reform legislation the answer? What is a Christian response to the health care system? The resources on this page provide answers to these important questions.
