“Let the lying lips be put to silence,

Which speak insolent things proudly and contemptuously against the righteous.” (Ps 31:18)

 “Then David said to the Philistine, ‘You come to me with a sword, with a spear, and with a javelin. But I come to you in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied.” (1 Sam 17:45)

The headline speaks for itself. As in the story of David and Goliath, good and evil are clearly differentiated. 

 The line is drawn! 

Will you fight?  

Will you PRAY? (see Num 23:24; Haggai 1:14)

• That all the LIES will be EXPOSED (Is 47:1-3; Jer 49:10);  
• That the Senators and Representatives will be blessed with the FEAR OF GOD (Ps 14:5);  
• That all evil plots and schemes will be CONFUSED and DERAILED (Ps 59:11; 83:17); 
• That, despite our national guilt, God will be MERCIFUL to us yet again (Ps 124);  
• That His REMNANT will arise (Ex 35:21-22; Eph 5:14-16).

 UPDATE:

1. Hallelujah! We have a good report! 

The “Health” care bill has been DELAYED in the Senate. It will not have a vote in that chamber until the Fall. God has heard our Prayers! 

2. Bad Reports:

1. Abortion Mandates still remain in the proposed legislation. Abortion must be specifically excluded or all is lost! (see Excerpts below)

2. Seniors are Seriously at Risk. The result of the current legislation will be that older people will be denied life-saving or life-prolonging procedures in order to save money. President Obama suggests seniors “take painkillers” instead. (see Excerpts below)

3. Technological innovations and research will be discouraged (see below).

4. All medical care will be seriously delayed and rationed.

5. Because President Obama seems to dislike profits, Small Businesses will be targets of high taxation.

PRAY! 

• Thank God for the Delay. More, Lord! 
• CRY OUT! For God to EXPOSE all the abominations in the legislation; 
• CRY OUT! For Abortion to be specifically EXCLUDED! (Most Important!)

Please pass this on to your own lists and prayer partners.

Pray with all your heart for the wonderful activists working to stop Obama and his evil co-conspirators. 

Excerpts:

GovernmentCare’s Assault on Seniors.

“[L]egislation now being rushed through Congress—H.R. 3200 and the Senate Health Committee Bill—will reduce access to care, pressure the elderly to end their lives prematurely, and doom baby boomers to painful later years.” 

“Slipped into the bill was substantial funding for comparative effectiveness research, which is generally code for limiting care based on the patient’s age.” 

“When comparative effectiveness research appeared in the stimulus bill, Rep. Charles Boustany Jr., (R., La.) a heart surgeon, warned that it would lead to ‘denying seniors and the disabled lifesaving care.’”

[I]t ensures that seniors are counseled on end-of-life options… In Oregon, some cancer patients are being denied care by the state that could extend their lives and instead are afforded the benefit of physician-assisted suicide.”

Democrat Proposals to Create a Federal Health Board (no link) 

“Last week the Administration sent to Congress draft legislation creating an ‘Independent Medicare Advisory Council’ (IMAC), which would create a new Presidentially- appointed board empowered to make recommendations on cost saving proposals. These cost-saving proposals could include denying care to the elderly because an unelected board of bureaucrats determines the treatment recommended by physicians is too expensive.”

~Rep. Mike Pence, R-IN

Obamacare for Illegal Aliens

“Big Nanny Democrats want to ration health care for everyone in America -- except those who break our immigration laws.” (i.e. illegal aliens)

Government Threat to World-Class Medicine

“Most Americans live within an hour's drive of a world-class medical facility filled with expertly trained individuals and state-of-the-art technology delivering medical miracles every day.”

“In a land founded on liberty, it is wrong that the federal government would dictate to doctors what medical treatments can, or worse, cannot be given to their patients.”

“…‘the stifling of innovation by excessive, intrusive audit ... the shackling of doctors by prescribing guidelines, referral guidelines and protocols”

“[O]ur country will see the long waiting lines for care, patients will lose trust in their doctors, and the medical discovery and innovation that has saved and enhanced lives across the country will end.”                                                 

Quote from Marjorie Dannenfelser, President of the Susan B. Anthony List, July 22, 2009

“Today, Obama told Katie Couric that the abortion issue is just a ‘distraction’ and yesterday, Rep. Woosley said in a committee hearing that abortion is no different than a tonsillectomy as she wondered why we were even talking about abortion.”  

Democrat Health Care Plan Will Mandate and Fund Abortion Coverage (no link)

“Democrats, including the President himself, have pushed for abortion coverage as part of health care reform. Candidate Obama pledged his support for abortion coverage as part of his health care reform package, stating: ‘[I]n my mind reproductive health care is essential health care, basic care so it is at the center, the heart of the plan that I propose.’”

~Rep. Eric Cantor, R-VA

Destroying private health insurance

“Many rules proposed in the Democrats’ health care reform plan will ensure that private health insurance won’t be around for long.”

“It’s easy to see where things are headed. With more and more rules on how health insurance can and cannot be offered, the industry will head toward a government one-size-fits-all system.”

Excerpts:

Below are excerpts from articles which explain the depth of the destruction and depravity of the Administration’s goals. 

Pray! Fervently beg God to INTERVENE! He Will! (Ps 107:6)

Here comes federal funding for abortion

“[T]he Obama agenda is to weave government-backed abortion into the fabric of American life and make it a far more integral part of domestic and foreign policy than ever before.”

“Exhibit A is the emerging Democratic plan for health reform.”

“Is abortion covered? If the drafters of the Democratic bill have their way, this will never be specified in the bill itself. It will be decided by a ‘Health Benefits Advisory Committee,’”

“Clearly, if Obama’s preferred health reform becomes law, abortion will be defined as a ‘health benefit’ automatically provided to every American family.”

“Why is Obama pushing ahead with such a radical abortion agenda? … Sincere conviction becomes the most plausible motive.”

Beware the government's "reform" health care system

“President Obama promises that ‘if you like your health plan, you can keep it,’ even after he reforms our health-care system. That’s untrue. The bills now before Congress would force you to switch to a managed-care plan with limits on your access to specialists and tests.”

“[A]new government bureaucracy will select health plans that it considers in your best interest, and you will have to enroll in one of these ‘qualified plans.’”

“The goal is to reduce everyone’s consumption of health care…”

“One troubling provision of the House bill compels seniors to submit to a counseling session every five years (and more often if they become sick or go into a nursing home) about alternatives for end-of-life care (House bill, p. 425-430). The sessions cover highly sensitive matters such as whether to receive antibiotics and ‘the use of artificially administered nutrition and hydration.’”

“The Senate bill allocates huge sums to ‘community transformation grants,’…and the creation of dozens of new government councils, programs and advisory boards slipped into the last 500 pages.”

“If you’re diagnosed with cancer, you have a better chance of surviving it in the United States than anywhere else, according to the Concord Five Continent Study. And the World Health Organization ranked the United States No. 1 out of 191 countries for being responsive to patients’ needs, including providing timely treatments and a choice of doctors.”

It's Not An Option

“It didn't take long to run into an ‘uh-oh’ moment when reading the House’s ‘health care for all Americans’ bill. Right there on Page 16 is a provision making individual private medical insurance illegal”.

“The public option won’t be an option for many, but rather a mandate for buying government care. A free people should be outraged at this advance of soft tyranny.”

 “America is disappearing before our very eyes! It’s very scary!”

~Ben Stein, economist, talk show commentator, July 14, 2009

• That the real and true consequences for your care will be made manifest (for example: severe rationing)! 
• That the Lord will have Mercy and Delay and Derail this wicked anti-health effort (as He did in 1994)!

Commentary:

Recently I was praying with Rev. Pat Mahoney, President of the Christian Defense Coalition, and he stated that, as a nation, we are at a “Tipping Point”. 

I thought, “Exactly!” 

Do we hope to continue to lean dramatically to the left but still stay afloat? Or, will we tip over, never to come back and continue on our God-given way?*

•  Nationalized Health Care, including abortion (see previous Alerts as to why this is sinful)  
• Homosexuality and “Hate” Crimes Laws  

We will discuss Health Care in this Alert. (The next Alert will discuss how Homosexuality/ “Hate” Crimes could also “tip us over.”)  

*In my opinion, “Tipping Over” means coming under God’s final judgment, which might happen over a period of time or in an instant; if the United States “tips over”, there will be little or no chance of return to what we have grown to love and cherish. In effect, we will “be turned into Hell” (see above).  

Here are some good excerpts from very insightful columns:  

Senator Insists Obama Health Care Bill Include Funding of Abortions

“During the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) Committee hearing last week, Sen. Barbara Mikulski (D-Md.) refused Sen. Orrin Hatch’s (R-Utah) request that she add language to the health care reform bill that would ban the funding of abortion.”
 
“The amendment in question requires insurers to contract with health providers that provide abortion.”

[editorial comment: By itself, government funding of all abortions will intensify God’s Wrath and push us to the “tipping point”]
 

Socialized health - The point of no return

 “Health care is a game-changer. The permanent game-changer… It alters the relationship between the citizen and the state”

“Government-directed health care is a profound assault on the concept of citizenship” (and Freedom)

“Ultimately, it's not the nationalization of health care but the nationalization of your body.” (and subsequent nationalization of all your choices)

Should Citizens Derail the Health Care Express?  

“If America’s citizens fail to derail Obama’s ‘Health Care Express’ train the real wreck will not be just the system but the impact and effects FORCED on each citizen… Freedom and choice regarding health decisions and financial options for themselvesand other family members will certainly be impinged and ultimately reduced.”

We Can Win On Health Care

“This is a make-or-break moment for Americans and the history of our great nation. And it is a battle we can win.”

“[M]ake no mistake: there will be no turning back, no reversing the government intrusion that Democrats desire…”

Please understand! Your care and that of your loved ones is very much at risk!

“[P]raying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints” (Eph 6:18)  

Commentary:

As promised recently, we are bringing to your attention excerpts from articles which provide greater in-depth analyses of President Obama’s so-called Health Care plan. 

This push for government-run health care is an ABOMINATION! (Prov 6:16-18)

IT MUST BE STOPPED! (Ps 119:126)

PRAY FERVENTLY AGAINST IT! (Is 37:21)

PRAY URGENTLY THAT GOD WILL HAVE MERCY, EXPOSE AND CONFOUND IT! (Ps 35:4; Jn 3:20) 

The Lord wants us to be “in health”. The enemy wants us to be sick and die. Jesus came “to destroy the work of the devil.” (3 Jn 1:2; 1 Jn 3:8)

“ObamaCare”, by restricting access, treatments and even new very improved technologies, is such a work! (Dt 30:15; Jn 8:44)

We cannot allow such an important aspect of our lives to be completely controlled by a pagan, deeply pro-abortion and anti-life distant bureaucracy! (Prov 8:36; 2 Tim 3:8-9)

Some Excerpts (please read the entire articles):  

“If you have any sense that you may be getting sick in the years ahead, I suggest you get sick immediately. If you will need of surgery or any medical procedure, do it now!”

 “It means cutting services, nurses, technicians, medical tests and, most prominently, the use of expensive technology. The president's top medical advisers are quite frank about this.”

 “Also at the heart of Mr. Obama’s plan is the restriction of services for older people, people 65 and older who, by virtue of modern medicine, may actually be 10 and 15 years younger in terms of good health than they would have been a generation ago.”

  Better get sick now, not later

 “Many in the mainstream media repeat the meme that this bill will finally ensure universal quality health care for all Americans, but it more likely will lower the quality of coverage for many Americans, especially those reliant on advanced medicines.” 

“Perhaps the most significant change is the additional cost controls Mr. Kennedy’s bill would place on the existing insurance sector, including eliminating nearly all options for insurers to deny or price different applicants according to their health needs. Taken together, these changes would lead to radically different treatment tomorrow for patients who already have coverage.” 

“One particular area of concern is the potential changes in patient access to lifesaving statins - a class of drugs that lowers cholesterol levels for those at risk of heart disease” 

“Proposed changes in Mr. Kennedy’s bill would likely limit or reduce access to lifesaving statins for patients who currently have coverage, which is likely to lead to more deaths, not fewer.”

 “Mr. Kennedy’s bill requires rationing to achieve its goals, the cost of statin medications, not patient needs, would drive health care decisions.” 

Heart-Stopping Health Care

 “I doubt whether there are many Americans who think Congress has either the right or competency to choose where they live, what clothes they wear or what cars they drive. Yet many Americans stand ready to allow Congress to decide what doctors they go to and what treatments they receive. We forget that once we have government-sponsored health care, it can be used to justify almost any restraint on liberty.”  

“In most of the developed world, the government has gradually taken over many of the responsibilities of adulthood from health care, childcare, care of the elderly and other responsibilities formerly seen as individual or family.”

Live Free or Die 

“FRC has been working hard to ensure that whatever bill the chamber endorses will explicitly ban taxpayer coverage for abortion.”
