health care

Within the hour of this posting, The House of Representatives narrowly voted in Obama and Nancy Pelosi's Socialist Health Care Reform Bill. A bill was passed earlier prohibiting health care funds to pay for abortions. After tonight's victory for liberals, the democrats (crowing on TV) made it clear that they will not commit to that passage and will overturn it as the bill moves further on.

They made it clear in the beginning that their plan will indeed pay for abortions, not matter what the people say or how they vote. It was also established during tonight's reports that the public will be forced to buy the government health insurance or face fines and possible jail time.

In other words, the people have no voice whatsoever in the government of the new, United Socialist States of America The healthcare passage has now officially placed our country under Marxist rule.

As communists stated to this writer (behind the Iron Curtain) in the early 1980's, they will overthrow the government of the United States without firing a shot. It took place tonight. It had all been planned carefully from the first Socialist organizational meeting in Indianapolis, Indiana in 1900.

They managed to maneuver into the White House, a Muslim who was not born in the United States, one Barack Hussein Obama who they began grooming years ago, put him through Harvard and then, with the help of ACORN and a misinformed public, shoe-horned this pretender into The Oval Office.    read more »

AARP, the ultra-liberal senior citizen's organization denied backing Obama's Healthkill Plan at televised Town Hall meetings. See my story on this website regarding their lies. Turns out there is even MORE to this story of betrayal.  

According to press reports, and a story in The Washington Post written by reform advocate and insurance salesman, Dan Eggen. the nation's preeminent seniors group, AARP, has put the weight of its 40 million members behind health-care reform (remember they have publicly stated that they absolutely did NOT back the plan) saying many of the proposals will lower costs and increase the quality of care for older Americans. Again, this group is now solidly endorsing the plan they have publicly denied backing. 

But NOT disclosed in this lobbying campaign is the group's substantial earnings from insurance royalties and the potential benefits that could come its way from many of the reform proposals. The group and it's subsidiaries collected more than $650 million in royalties and other fees last year from the sale of insurance policies, credit cards and other products that carry the AARP name (vitamins etc.), accounting for the majority of it's $1.14 billion in revenue, according to federal tax records.

It does not directly sell insurance policies-even though they strongly "recommend" them through their newsletters and AARP Magazine, lending its name to insurance plans in exchange for a tax-exempt cut of the premiums.  read more »

The Baucus healthcare reform plan is chock-full of provisions calling for new government mandates, higher taxes, increased spending and government-dictated, rationed health care.

In fact, it's so bad that Senate Minority Whip Jon Kyl said of Baucus' plan: "This is a stunning assault on liberty!"

As previously stated, the Baucus bill hasn't even been written yet, much less read by the Senators who are doing the negotiating.

It's nothing more than a 200-plus-page shell of ideas to be rammed down the throats of the American people with all deliberate speed... before you and other concerned Americans have the time to find out what hit you.

Senator Lindsay Graham, speaking on FOX News, probably gave the best explanation of what exactly is going on: "[T]he Baucus bill... literally changes everyday... we're making this up as we go... they're trying to buy votes... the vision here is to pass something... they don't give a damn what it is and nobody understands what they're doing."

These so-called leaders just don't get it. Republicans and Democrats are quibbling over what type of government-run health care they believe to be best for you and your family and no one is fighting for the American people.

The words is out... the game is played... the man behind the curtain has been exposed... and it's now as plain as the nose on your face. Obama and the leftists in Congress don't want you to know what's in ObamaCare... they just made it clear that they just may try to hide all the sordid details from you.  read more »

I've devoted the last several weeks to Bible study, prayer and meditation about health care reform, and I've come to the conclusion that the only Christian option is to support universal health care by a single-payer system.  I know I'm probably going to get some angry responses, but please bear with me here.

As Christians, we should take care of everyone who needs care - no matter what their lifestyle is (even if they are couch potatoes - we still need to love them), no matter what their immigration status is.  As Christians (not as Americans), why would we not care for everyone?  As Christians - why would we care about how much money it costs?

As an American - I was looking at the financial statements for some health insurance companies.  Half of their expenses are health care costs to doctors, hospitals, pharmacies, etc.  The other half is administrative and profits.  If we got rid of health insurance completely, our health care costs could be cut by at least a third (considering that some costs are now paid by government).  We don't get rid of them because many of us invest in them because they make a nice profit for us.  That's not Christian - that's capitalism.

What if doctors were just federal employees paid salaries - not on a per diem?  Then they could spend as much time as necessary to take care of each patient, and do what each patient needs, instead of being held hostage by health insurance companies?  read more »

I asked for Christians to come up with a better plan a couple of weeks ago, but got no response.  Why?

I have some ideas:

- Allow for a high risk pool, like we have for auto insurance, so people with pre-existing conditions can get insurance.

- Allow health insurance companies to sell across state lines.  This would allow people to choose their plans and by having a larger group to sell to, would decrease premiums.

- If they don't want to do a high risk pool, why not allow people who have been denied insurance three or more times to be able to BUY INTO the current plans government employees have now.

- Prevent insurance companies from denying or non-renewing coverage to small businesses when an employee gets sick.

These options wouldn't break the bank, and would solve many of the problems we have now.  read more »

Janeen Duke, residence of Charleston, SC suffered a brain injury on January 22, 2009 while attending a church service in Kingstree, SC. She was rushed to a hospital in Williamsburg County in an ambulance and later flown by helicopter to a hospital in Charleston, SC. She was not expected to make it during the flight according to a doctor who spoke with a family member over the telephone.

Her family was devastated when the news reached them. Since that time, Janeen has shown signs of improvement due to prayer and the grace of God because the doctors at the hospital did not expect Janeen to live past the month of January. The family thought the signs of improvement meant moving on to the next stage that would mean more improvement. Were they ever wrong. Janeen's family never expected the tragedy to take them on a trip to Oz. The occurrences have been unbelievable.  read more »

As our Supreme Court awaits the inevitable implementation of left wing social activist Sotomayor, I ask myself, "How much of this can we take? They are stealing America." This tragedy is not unlike a violent car crash; your in the drivers seat, gripping the wheel, the tires are screeching, your life flashes before your eye's, and no matter which way you pull the wheel your still being sucked straight into a giant Oak tree. Earlier this week, President Obama unjustly implied that the Cambridge police officer who arrested his friend, did so out of racial motivation, then the President convinced us that we were making a big fuss over nothing when it was proven that he was dead wrong.  read more »

The clock ticking, House and Senate lawmakers scrambled to advance a health care reform package Tuesday even though Democratic leaders have admitted that neither chamber will be able to approve a bill before the August recess.

House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer said Monday night that a floor vote on health care reform "clearly will not be possible" by Friday.

But House Democrats are trying to at least pass their version of the bill out of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, the only House panel yet to vote on the package, this week...

(CNSNews.com) - The Senate version of health care reform allows federal funds to go to insurance companies that pay for abortion. When asked if he thinks the House will approve this version of the bill or something similar in House legislation, a spokesman for House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) said that the final outcome rests with pro-life Democrats.

“Everyone knows what Leader Boehner’s position is on protecting human life, and we don’t do the whipping for Majority Leader [Steny] Hoyer,” Michael Steel, Boehner’s press secretary, told CNSNews.com.

“The question is: Will pro-life Democrats support this version of the bill?” said Steel. “Will they pledge to oppose any health care bill that increases the number of abortions, particularly taxpayer-funded abortions?”...

If passed, two healthcare reform bills could mean more abortions at taxpayers' expense.

The two primary measures -- the Kennedy bill and the House Democratic leadership bill -- contain provisions that would represent the greatest expansion of abortion since the Supreme Court legalized it in 1973, according to Douglas Johnson of the National Right to Life Committee.

"These two bills contain multiple provisions that would result in federally mandated insurance coverage of abortion on demand, result in massive federal subsidies for abortion, result even in mandated creation of many new abortion clinics across the country," he explains...
