Justice and equity are prominent and recurring themes in both the Old and New Testaments. Jesus began His ministry by preaching from Isaiah 61 (“good news to the poor...freedom for prisoners...release of the oppressed”) and ended it with warnings about judgment for those who ignore “the least of these.” Healthcare, in America and the rest of the world, seldom mirrors God’s concern for justice and equity. Christians have a remarkable opportunity to display the glory and kingdom of God by fighting healthcare injustice.
