Some random thoughts about today's news and reactions to it...
I've read from a couple people who are against the Affordable Care Act that "God is still in control, not Obama."
I
think they believe today's decision is NOT what God wants. Yet their
statements about who is in control would imply that the decision IS what
God wants...He is in control, right?
I'm not stating that
God is on one side or the other; just think it's interesting that some
people are so certain that God is against this, and that those who
follow God should also be against it.
I've seen something else interesting in many of the comments I'm reading.
Those who are against the ruling today, and the Affordable Care Act, are mostly talking about how it will affect them:
"how this will affect my taxes..."
"what the government is going to make me do..."
Those on the other side, who are for it, are talking about how it will help other people--the poor, those already sick, etc.
Interesting to see who is more concerned with self, and who is more concerned with others.
Finally, I don't have a problem if you are against the Affordable
Care Act. But do you really believe President Obama is evil? That this
is a plan to destroy our country?
Even if you think this plan is not a good way to do it, couldn't
you consider that the motivation behind it is to help more people?

Good observations. I felt the same way upon this decision and the reactions it invoked in the public. My worry is that any forward progress when it comes to more affordable health care can be revoked anytime anyone else becomes the ones in power. I don't consider myself at this point necessarily on one side or the other of the debate, but wish to look at the merits of both sides.
