For the past three years I’ve been asking the question:
“Is insurance a legitimate tool of God or an illegitimate substitute for Him?”
And I’ve been floating in limbo. Back and forth, back and forth.
Some months I’d be like “Insurance, ha. I have faith in God. I’m not putting any of my hope in the systems of this world.”
Other months I’d be like “Insurance? Good idea. What if something really bad happens?”
Well, today (yes, today) I heard a pop in my knee while breakdancing.
I can’t put any weight on it. Or make it straight. I think it’s dislocated. And I do not have insurance.
Thankfully, one of my friends picked me up and took me to a medical center. My income is low enough (that’s a whole other story) that I qualify for some discount plan (which basically means taxpayers cover the bill). And since it’s the secondhand medical center they can’t see me until tomorrow.
Now that the rubber has officially met the road, I’m getting insurance.
However, I still have an issue with corrupt big corporation insurance executives taking vacations off of our premiums so I’m doing something a little different.
After three years of being tossed to and fro, I’ve decided. Modern medicine is a gift. And insurance is a legitimate tool of God.
….That’s why I’m getting insurance as a Christian.
