Title
The search for better health care
Description
Worse news today: the annual cost is over 3.6 trillion. Yet despite spending more on health care than any other country, life expectancy in America today ranks 33rd out of 36 countries in the world. The dire picture painted by this essay figured into a discussion on health care published a month later in the Christian Science Sentinel. Several practitioners and teachers of Christian Science sat down with the magazine’s editorial team to discuss society’s approach to health and to bring much-needed light to a very different perspective on it, one that has a long history of saving lives, healing physical ailments, and that is grounded on an understanding of God. Welcome news. To me, it doesn’t make sense to think of God as having a powerful healing effect on human lives all the way back to ancient times, but being of no practical value, or not meriting any attention, when it comes to matters of health today. Why is that?
