Responses to March 18 issue
by Martha Yoder Maust, Indianapolis
While I do not want to detract from Everett Thomas’ article “Agnus Dei: Lamb of God” (March 18), I want to point out that Isaac was not “Abraham’s only begotten son.” “Abraham, without a son, would die and leave no posterity,” Thomas wrote. But Ishmael was Abraham’s son and part of his household at the time of Isaac’s birth and for some time afterward.
Midway through the article “Health Insurance Proposal to Be Tested” (March 18) we are told that “the health-care access team assumes pastors age 65 and older use Medicaid benefits.” In fact, the benefits received by most people over 65 come through Medicare.
Medicaid benefits are only available to some low-income people, including children, pregnant women, and the blind, elderly and disabled, with benefits varying from state to state.
