Comment on Taking a Look at Health Insurance

Thanks Candace … but what is the alternative, as you see it? Personally I think a major focus on preventing health problems would be appropriate - preventable diseases cost trillions of dollars per year in health costs. Removing a percentage of those, and suddenly insurance is a lot less expensive.

A couple of points – there are already a couple of states (Massachusetts is one) where everybody is required to have health insurance ... if it were unconstitutional I would expect it to have been challenged before now. Secondly, if all uninsured people take up insurance, it may well drive the price down for everybody.

Comment on America’s Biggest Creditor

Remember the scare – Japan is going to buy up America. Now China is out buying Japan. Nearly half the treasuries are owned by these two countries alone. Pretty soon it will be Asia that's buying up America.

The difference, Japan has a population of 1/10th of China.

Chinese holdings of Treasuries are up 25% from September of 2007.

The holdings are up nearly 10-fold from September 2000.

But all is not good news for China. The Middle Kingdom is also a major owner of Fannie Mae-issued securities.

Basically our currency that displays "In God we Trust" has been replaced by a Buddhist
county. I ask, through the presidency of George W. Bush, where did God's favor go? Why are we not God's prosperous nation?

This devisiveness in government is more than simple politics,both parties were elected by we the people,and that is who they should work for,not lobbyests and special intrest groups.We the people pay their salary, and pay for their healthcare clinic at the capital,yet they don't want us to have good healthcare or a public option that would come in so handy at a time when there are so many out of work.An unemployed person can not afford $700 a month to carry over their insurance,yet our unemployment is taxed and pays for congresses walk in clinic.DISPICABLE!!!

Comment on How Much Will All This Cost Us?

The government interference in healthcare will not solve problems long term. Just like Social Security and Medicare this programs will suffer from not having enough financial resources, funded through tax dollars, to support the program and the inevitable cuts will come. A better solution is to allow faith-based and community-based health clinics to care for their own citizens within the community. Government grant funding could help these ministries and non-profits but these clinics are most effective when they are supported with local funds by individual contributors and local foundation grants.

In my work with Here-4-You Christian Grant Consulting I meet ministries striving to provide healthcare services, healthcare sharing programs, free clinics, pregnancy centers, and other health related organizations. It is predicted that these programs will be harmed or even shut down by “healthcare reform.” The Christian and faith-based organizations are most concerned as to how new regulations may interfere with their missions.

Perhaps you didn't read how much this so called "affordable insurance" will cost many, that already feel they cannot afford insurance and the health care bill won't make that easier. If some businesses drop their insurance plan because paying the fines is less expensive, that leaves the worker to find other insurance on their own. Even for many of them paying the fine would be less expensive than paying the premiums based on their income.
Even with the Bronze plan, you will be paying 40% of the hospital bill. That could still bankrupt someone that makes a little too much to get Medicade. While the Platinum plan pays 90% most won't be able to afford the monthly premiums.
If you have pre-existing medical conditions, and want them covered, you will have to find a policy that covers those conditions.
Which of course will cost more. However, if one prefers to pay out of pocket for treatment of those conditions, they could find less expensive insurance.
I am for AFFORDABLE insurance. I just want it truly affordable without the government turning health care into a bureaucratic nightmare.
Will Christians be in line to purchase the insurance? Of course, because it will be the law.
