Welcome to Dr. Jesus!\u00a0 This is the debut week for Dr. Jesus.\u00a0 Of all the incarnations in this Jesus comic strip, portraying Jesus as a healer is probably the closest to reality.\u00a0 Of course, this comic strip is about parody, not straight up facts — at least not in a direct way.\u00a0 It may seem strange that Dr. Jesus shows up as one of the later characters in this comic strip series.\u00a0 Nonetheless, it is strangely appropriate that we would have to wait for the doctor.\u00a0 If this is not a common straight up fact, then I don’t know what is!\u00a0 Until Dr. Obama offered his prescription for a solution to part of the many health-care dilemmas in the United States, the dreaded pre-existing condition was one of the greatest scourges in healthcare.\u00a0 Of course, today, the most dangerous pre-existing condition in the United States is not having health insurance, which afflicts about 50 million Americans.\u00a0 I suspect that Dr. Jesus would’ve been open to prescribing universal healthcare for those around him.\u00a0 But, of course, his methods are very suspect, as the biblical record seems very weak on documenting sound billing practices on Jesus’ part.\u00a0 Oddly, in the most wealthy nation in the history of humankind, or perhaps human unkind, we still seem to be deathly afraid of offering healthcare to all people who need it.\u00a0 Somehow this seems to be tied to money — surprise, surprise!\u00a0 Even more oddly, the United States spends 50-100% more per capita on healthcare than those other advanced industrial democracies, which all provide universal healthcare.\u00a0 Further, these other nations that provide universal healthcare all have healthier populations!\u00a0 For all the talk of running government like a business, shouldn’t getting the most for your health care dollar be a top agenda item?\u00a0 The reality is that we don’t care to run the government like a business at all, we want to run the government for the benefit of business, not the people.\u00a0 So, business runs the government.\u00a0 Business runs the people.\u00a0 This strikes me as totally backwards.\u00a0 Perhaps government should assure that business practices are humane and for the benefit of people.\u00a0 If the government is of the people, for the people, and by the people, then it should serve the people, not just business people.\u00a0 Jesus was a profound forerunner in occupying healthcare.\u00a0 Let us join Jesus; let us follow Jesus in occupying healthcare!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
