Healthcare in America: Principles and Problems
First, I would like to thank Dr. Cochran for his excellent and edifying essay, “Healthcare in America: Diagnosis. Cure?” There are many commendable observations and suggestions found in it. I’m particularly struck by Dr. Cochran’s generous and conciliatory tone. Throughout his essay, Dr. Cochran maintains a posture of what I will call firm civility. At no time does he compromise his hard won and long considered positions, yet, he makes his case in a respectful and moderate tone. In what is best about religiously-based discourse, Dr. Cochran writes with a genuine Christian meekness, and that is much appreciated.
My plan in this initial follow-up essay is to do two things: I will discuss two of Dr. Cochran’s “fundamental Christian social principles”. I will then discuss one practical problem with America’s healthcare system and a couple of ways that problem may be dealt with.
