Mark Steyn has succinctly and cogently defined in his WHY’S HE DOING IT? piece what “Health Care” is all about.

“… the governmentalization of health care is the fastest way to a permanent left-of-center political culture.  It redefines the relationship between the citizen and the state in fundamental ways that make limited government all but impossible.”

This is why Barack Obama is significantly more concerned about health care than he is about jobs and the economy.  He is a big government ideologue who believes that more government is the solution to all of society’s ills.  This one step will put us much further down the road toward Euro-style government domination of every aspect of our lives, our economies, etc.

This fight is not about whether we provide health insurance for 30-45 million folks who do not currently have insurance or whether you can keep your own doctor (eventually, you won’t).  This is about whether you and I are responsible for our own success or failure in life or whether the federal government is the big nanny who will take care of each of us.  As Steyn aptly states,

“Because government health care is not about health care, it’s about government.”

And Steyn has not commented on the spiritual component of this matter.  Jesus said “Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.” (Mark 12:17)  If health care passes, very soon, everything will be Caesar’s.  And if the government is your source and provider, why do you need God?  Look at the de-spiritualization of Europe for a case in point.

No, this is not really about Health Care.
