The Supreme Court confronted the core of President Barack Obama's healthcare law today, zeroing in on whether Congress had the power to require most people in the United States to buy medical insurance.
Rabbi Akiva 2000 years ago said, The basic generality governing the Torah is – Loving one’s friend as one’s self. Love of self is naturally accorded to all people; therefore, since the human body is a vessel for life, people will pay anything to maintain their health.
The Cabala teaches, A hole in the body is indicative of a hole in the soul – without fixing the body the soul can not be repaired; the healthy helping the sick, heals the body of the poor and the soul of the rich – without the poor people charity becomes impossible.
In the previous world of Tohu/Chaos everything was independent; those who were strong ate up the weak, but in our world, called Tikun/Fixing, everything is created, purposely incomplete necessitating love of others. All peoples are created to fix the chaos of Tohu.
Love in Hebrew is Ahav, a word that breaks down into Hav/Giving while the Aleph at the beginning indicates I – I Give. Those who insist on individuality live in chaos. Doctors are compelled, from morality, to save every person – this same standard applies to everyone.
