To be without health insurance in this country means to be without access to medical care. But health is not a luxury, nor should it be the sole possession of a privileged few. We are all created b'tzelem elohim - in the image of God - and this makes each human life as precious as the next. By 'pricing out' a portion of this country's population from health care coverage, we mock the image of God and destroy the vessels of God's work.
Interpretation
What this quote means
Access to healthcare is a fundamental right, not a privilege, reflecting the inherent value of all human life.
This quote emphasizes the importance of universal access to healthcare, arguing that being without health insurance leads to a lack of medical care that should be available to everyone. It challenges the notion that health is a luxury reserved for the privileged and supports the idea that all human lives are equally valuable, as we are all made in the image of God. Denying healthcare access undermines this principle and harms society as a whole.

Health care historically has been a very siloed field that's organized around medical specialties - urology, cardiac surgery, and so forth - and around the supply of these specialty services. The patient is the ping-pong ball that moves from service to service.

There is no doubt that some plant food, such as oatmeal, is more economical than meat, and superior to it in regard to both mechanical and mental performance. Such food, moreover, taxes our digestive organs decidedly less, and, in making us more contented and sociable, produces an amount of good difficult to estimate.
