Pray that Good Decisions are Made About Healthcare

THE HEALTH CARE CRISIS

Today, on NYTimes.com, I see that it is now being said that the public option in the Health Plan may be dropped. "For President Obama giving up on a public insurance plan could punch a hole in Republican arguments but could also alienate liberal Democrats."
It is a shame that when making important decisions for the people, so much has to be considered about parties and votes.
This morning, I was reading the book of Luke in the bible and, as you probably know God selected Luke, a physician to record that gospel. In Chapter 7, there is an account of a man who thought himself unworthy to come to Jesus to ask for his servant to be healed: "Wherefore neither thought I myself worthy to come unto thee: but say in a word, and my servant shall be healed." (Ch7:7) "When Jesus heard these things, he marvelled at him and turned him about and said unto the people that followed him, "I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Isreal"
And they that were sent, returning to the house, found the servant whole that had been sick"> (V. 10)

Consider, that there are those who are thought to be unworthy by some of health care because they don't have insurance or are elderly. If Jesus was willing to listen to a man who thought he was unworthy and to heal a servant, maybe we need to rethink
these health care decisions and provide something for everyone.

Although God still heals and does miracles today, it is our responsibility to do our part to maintain our health and the health of others.

Did any of the politicians or lawmakers, including Obama ask "What would Jesus
do?"

In Luke Chapter 7:21 it states: "In that same hour he cured many of their infirmities and plagues, and of evil spirits; and unto many thatt were blind he gave sight."

Do people have the means to go to those people who can care for them and heal them of diseases and infirmities? It is our responsibility to come up with a plan so they do.
