Partners in Health?

Pretty confusing to make sense of the health care discussions these days.  First of all the concept is strange to a 1st Century mind.  Great if you can get it! Not so great if you can't.  And the new CVS Pharmacy requirements are making the news now too. Seems some people don't like the form this 'encouragement' takes. 

Doesn't everyone win when prevention is the norm?  I can see how not feeling the pinch of the high cost of health care could make a person less interested in prevention.  And not fair if companies would lay off sick workers to lower their costs.  Seems like a partnership in health would make the most sense - everyone work for the good of the neighbor so no one is left out.

An interesting ministry in Memphis aims for exactly that - The Church Health Center and the Memphis Plan - started by a Pastor/Doctor.  Wheat Ridge connected with them for a grant on their publication, The Church Health Reader, a while back; worth putting that magazine on your regular reading list.
