Pelosi's outrageous comments: Pelosi lashes out against insurance companies | Politics | Reuters
"WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Thursday ramped up her criticism of insurance companies, accusing them of unethical behavior and working to kill a plan to create a new government-run health plan.'It's almost immoral what they are doing,' Pelosi said to reporters, referring to insurance companies. 'Of course they've been immoral all along in how they have treated the people that they insure,' she said, adding, 'They are the villains."
Sue Cirba: Insurance company villains? I just had a heart test that cost around $500 and my insurance company paid all except $79.00. They don't look like villains to me. Visit: Pelosi lashes out against insurance companies | Politics | Reuters:

Scranton Bishops Letter to Senator Casey Over Health Care Bill
The Bishops of Scranton have sent a letter to Senator Casey urging Casey to oppose Kennedy bill,"We urge you to oppose this bill and any legislation that permits the destruction of innocent human life". To quote the Bishop's letter, "The bill approved on July 15 by the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) Committee sponsored by Senator Ted Kennedy is a matter of deep concern to us. According to National Right to Life Committee Legislative Director, Douglas Johnson, 'The Kennedy bill [and the House Democratic leadership bill] would result in the greatest expansion of abortion since Roe v. Wade.' Further, Johnson stated, 'These bills, which President Obama is pushing hard, would result in federally mandated coverage of abortion by nearly all health plans, federally mandated recruitment of abortionists by local health networks, and nullification of many state abortion laws. They would also result in federal funding of abortion on a massive scale.” Visit: The Diocese of Scranton:

The Next Great Depression, Updated
"While another 12-year depression still isn’t inevitable, the post-financial-crisis policy blunders of Presidents Hoover and Roosevelt are being re-enacted with eerie similitude by the current president.
Hoover devastated America’s exporters by signing the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act, triggering a devastating trade war. President Obama triggered retaliatory tariffs from Mexico when he appeased his Teamster supporters by blocking Mexican trucks from entering the United States, unilaterally repudiating NAFTA. He also elicited retaliatory tariffs from Canada (other countries will follow) by inserting a “buy American” clause in his “stimulus” bill. As in the 1930s, international trade is collapsing today. Foreigners suddenly find themselves earning fewer dollars to buy American products. Nor can they buy as much American government debt as before." Visit:The Next Great Depression, Updated:
Sue Cirba: Elections have consequences. What baffles me is the way Democrats and sometimes Republicans keep buying the same snake oil from the Democrat Party. Democrat politicians have been immersed in the pro-abortion movement at least since the Clinton administration. They have also been believers in faulty economic policies as Dr. Hendrickson points out. Why anyone who lived through the economic disaster which was the Carter administration would ever vote for a Democrat is beyond my comprehension! I vividly recall as newlyweds, my husband and I frantically rushing to buy a home before the interest rates got so high we would not be able to afford one. Increased taxation only serves to keep the poor in poverty. One has to wonder how many more women will feel pressured to abort their children over dire economic circumstances.

Hudson Taylor Christian Missionary to China | Christian History
God planted the seeds of faith and the solutions to the problems of Communist China more than 150 years ago. Christians must pray for the conversion of China (as well as a return to faith for so many American Christians who have abandoned their faith.)
This story of Hudson Taylor and the sacrafices needed for a fruitful life.
"In September 1853, a little three-masted clipper slipped quietly out of Liverpool harbor with Hudson Taylor, a gaunt and wild-eyed 21-year-old missionary, aboard. He was headed for a country that was just coming into the Christian West's consciousness; only a few dozen missionaries were stationed there. By the time Taylor died a half-century later, however, China was viewed as the most fertile and challenging of mission fields as thousands volunteered annually to serve there.In September 1853, a little three-masted clipper slipped quietly out of Liverpool harbor with Hudson Taylor, a gaunt and wild-eyed 21-year-old missionary, aboard.

Obama's "Silent FOCA" Would Strip Pro-Lifers of Rights
What will be the result of Obama's Health Care Plan? It will outlaw all private insurance, yes even the coverage plans you now have which Obama claims you can keep."Abortion, which Obama has called “essential health care,” would be included in the minimum benefits of every health care plan. Colin Mason of the Population Research Institute writes about the Obama plan "Every taxpayer and insurance holder would have no choice but to pay for every abortion Discriminates against practitioners who refuse to perform abortions, who may face unemployment as a result. Will most likely lead to rationing of care for the elderly" The article continues along with links to contact your Senators and Representatives: Obama's "Silent FOCA" Would Strip Pro-Lifers of Rights:
American Thinker: Michelle Obama's Patient-Dumping Scheme
President Ronald Reagan,in 1986, signed the Emergency Medical Labor and Treatment Act (EMTALA) which made patient "redirection" or "dumping" illegalMany high profile hospitals do not want to treat the poor. One such hospital was the University of Chicago Medical Center whose "Vice President for Community and External Affairs" wasnone other than Michelle Obama. The American Thinker has an article with details of this questionable health care program and several horror stories including a boy whose upper lip was torn off bu a dog and the hospital sent him away with only a shot and an antibiotic. From the American Thinker:
"The University of Chicago Medical Center has received a good deal of justly opprobrious press over its policy of 'redirecting' low-income patients to community hospitals while reserving its own beds for well-heeled patients requiring highly profitable procedures. Substantial coverage was given to a recent indictment of the program by the American College of Emergency Physicians. ACEP's president, Dr. Nick Jouriles, released a statement suggesting that the initiative comes 'dangerously close to ‘patient dumping,' a practice made illegal by the Emergency Medical Labor and Treatment Act, and reflected an effort to ‘cherry pick' wealthy patients over poor.'"

1000 PAGE HEALTH CARE PLAN! - Secondhand Smoke — A First Things Blog
Secondhand Smoke — A First Things Blog: Out of committee: "we get a $1.5 billion, 1000 page health care plan, the details of which our representatives may vote for without even having read (as we have seen in other areas of public policy since President Obama was inaugurated). And it will be hard for us to engage in democratic debate because our sickly media won’t even be able to report or keep track on what is in the bill." reported Wesley Smith in his blog SecondHAnd Smoke.
"we are on the path toward empowering utilitarian bioethicists, who you and your doctor don’t even know, to decide what treatments you can have and indeed, when you have to die We are on the path to rationing. We are on the path to health care costs being the catch all excuse for the government to control your personal behaviors....–under the pretext of keeping costs low.
I repeat, this isn’t a health care plan, it is a power grab. Rather that rushing it through, we should slow it down. This is too important to get wrong." Wesley Smith Visit:Secondhand Smoke — A First Things Blog:

Inadequately Funded Universal Health Care Leads to Rationing: Part 2 -- Great Britain
NRLC.org has an excellent article on the disaster that is "universal free health care" in the United Kingdom. Sadly, personal tragedies such as this one are not rare. "Former British diplomat Christopher Denne had prostate cancer symptoms and went to his NHS entry-level doctor. It then took six weeks to see an urologist who did not obtain a biopsy for 10 more months. The biopsy was positive for prostate cancer, but Denne had to wait another three months for another test to determine if the cancer had spread. Unfortunately it had, but after more than 14 months, the time for early treatment options had passed." Visit:

"While Judge Sonia Sotomayor’s past decisions have not directly concerned abortion rights, there are strong reasons to believe that, if confirmed, she will follow the most extreme agenda possible. Her record of abortion advocacy indicates that she would not only uphold the current regime of abortion-on-demand in all nine months of pregnancy for any reason, but go even further — seeking to radically reinterpret the Constitution by making abortion a fundamental right (like freedom of speech) eliminating more than 500 state and federal abortion laws supported by the vast majority of the American people."
"...Sotomayor was a governing board member of the Puerto Rican Legal Defense and Education Fund (PRLDEF) from 1980 to October 1992. On her watch, the organization filed at least six briefs in prominent abortion-related court cases, including ...Supreme Court case Webster v. Reproductive Health Services".

Remember, approximately 80 % of Americans have coverage they pay for themselves and will be taxed to pay for health care for illegal immigrants and "residents" which is not yet defined:
"This Bill aims to give comprehensive health insurance to all US residents, not citizens, residents. There is no qualified explanation of a resident; this has yet to be determined by the government. Each resident would be given a card for insurance purposes based on filling out a 2 page application."
"Coverage under this Bill would be allowed for visitors to the Untied States who seek premeditated non-emergency surgical procedures."
"All “medically necessary” services will be providing under this Bill:
Dental, vision, long term care, mental health and prescriptions included too.
The USNHC program will have no payments expected for any of this care. Residents would not pay for anything, no co-payments or any bills." The summary continues and other plans are reviewed here:

The science is proving that there is minimal effect by man on the environment, Global Warming does not exist, yet the house passed “Cap & Trade” that will add $2,000 - $3,000 to the cost of running an average American house hold. Medicare is bankrupt under Government control, and we are thinking of handing them all of our Health Care to manage. The employee free choice act will do away with secret ballot in non-union businesses and replace it with a Union Thug coming to a workers home and asking him if he wants to sign a card. Would you want to lose your secret ballot voting rights? People that can’t afford their mortgages are being subsidized by the people that are struggling to make their payments. The Government is firing CEO’s. 1,500 businesses were confiscated by the government, under the guise of too many car dealerships. Have you asked, “Who made the choice of who lost their dealership?” These were Americans who had built those businesses. Please help us send a message to Washington that we want them to stop. Come so we can have one of the largest Tea Parties in America!

Newsmax.com - Palin Resigning As Governor, Leaves Plans Secret
"WASILLA, Alaska – Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin abruptly announced Friday she is resigning from office at the end of the month, a shocking move that rattled the Republican party but left open the possibility she would seek a run for the White House in 2012.
Palin, 45, and her staff kept her future plans shrouded in mystery, and it was unclear if the controversial hockey mom would quietly return to private life or begin laying the foundation for a presidential bid." Visit:

March of Dimes Global Report Commentary by Susan Enouen
Life Issues Institute author Susan w. Enouen, P.E. writes about the March of Dimes recent Global Report on Birth Defects. She explains how the organization's view of preventing birth defects also includes abortion though March of Dimes is very careful about the wording of their report. While one can sanitize the language, the abortion of children is a gruesome practice. When "preventing birth defects" includes partial-birth abortion, salt poisioning abortion or dismemberment abortion, Americans need to seiously consider supporting charities that respect the lives of handicapped unborn children and not tolerate or encourage their destruction.
Susan Enouen's article begins here: "The March of Dimes has released their Global Report on Birth Defects, The Hidden Toll of Dying and Disabled Children. This comprehensive summary and analysis of the available global data on the causes and incidence of birth defects makes compelling arguments about the effectiveness of preventive care. In addition to identifying the many types of birth defects, their causes, and their prevalence in different countries in the world, it is clearly intended to motivate governments and health care systems to focus on providing the preventions and treatments available today." Unfortunately, 'secondary prevention' “aims to reduce the number of children born with birth defects,” and abortion is a means of "treatment". Visit: MARCH OF DIMES, Enouen

Operation Rescue - LATE TERM ABORTIONIST LOSES LICENSE
"Talahassee, FL — Late-term abortionist James Pendergraft has lost his appeal of the suspension of his medical license for committing illegal third-trimester abortions. The suspension issued by the Florida Medical Board remains valid and in effect.
In an opinion filed yesterday, the Florida District Court of Appeals rejected all of Pendergraft’s arguments and stated that they “found no reversible error” in the Board’s suspension order." Visit: Operation Rescue:

Senate "Free Rider" Penalties: Taxing the Poor to Pay for Health Care
MORE NEW TAXES FROM THE DEMOCRATS:
"Of course, the biggest fallacy in all of this is the belief that somehow it will be employers, rather than workers, that bear the cost of any 'play or pay' mandate or 'free rider' penalty.
The reality is that either or both of these provisions will act as an extremely regressive tax on the working poor, substantially reducing their take-home pay and in some cases eliminating their jobs altogether." Visit: Senate "Free Rider" Penalties: Taxing the Poor to Pay for Health Care:

Obama's Shameful Decisions - June 2009: Obama Revokes President Bush's Policy Protecting Human Embryos
What makes for a stable country? Earlies this year my daughter and I visited Italy. While in Venice I learned that the city was supported by wooden supports made from trees. I cannot even imagine the number of supports necessary to create a stable foundation for Venice.
It led me to reflect on other ways that societies are supported: Stable families, a sound economy, respect for human life, respect for the rule of law, stable institutions such as churches and schools. It is obvious that these have been under attack for decades, but the Obama administration has begun to attack these with a new ferocity.
If one were to wait until the end of the year and decide upon "The most shameful decision, act or policy of the Obama presidency in 2009", it would be impossible to do so, because there have been so many shameful decisions. It appears there will be no end in sight.
Obama's decision to revoke President Bush's policy of funding only stem cell research that does not involve the killing of human embryos is surely Obama's most shameful decision of June 2009. The numbers of human embryos that will be created and destroyed in the years to come could be astronomical, and Obama's executive order which follows has liar written all over it. Obama: "Advances over the past decade in this promising scientific field have been encouraging" False, there have been no successful human treatments with embryonic stem cell research. Obama wants NIH to "review NIH guidelines...including provisions establishing appropriate safeguards". Safeguards? Embryonic stem cell research kills new human life-there are no protections for human embryos. Sue Cirba
Obama's executive Order
By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered as follows:
Section 1. Policy. Research involving human embryonic stem cells and human non-embryonic stem cells has the potential to lead to better understanding and treatment of many disabling diseases and conditions. Advances over the past decade in this promising scientific field have been encouraging, leading to broad agreement in the scientific community that the research should be supported by Federal funds.
For the past 8 years, the authority of the Department of Health and Human Services, including the National Institutes of Health (NIH), to fund and conduct human embryonic stem cell research has been limited by Presidential actions. The purpose of this order is to remove these limitations on scientific inquiry, to expand NIH support for the exploration of human stem cell research, and in so doing to enhance the contribution of America's scientists to important new discoveries and new therapies for the benefit of humankind.
Sec. 2. Research. The Secretary of Health and Human Services (Secretary), through the Director of NIH, may support and conduct responsible, scientifically worthy human stem cell research, including human embryonic stem cell research, to the extent permitted by law.
Sec. 3. Guidance. Within 120 days from the date of this order, the Secretary, through the Director of NIH, shall review existing NIH guidance and other widely recognized guidelines on human stem cell research, including provisions establishing appropriate safeguards, and issue new NIH guidance on such research that is consistent with this order. The Secretary, through NIH, shall review and update such guidance periodically, as appropriate.
Sec. 4. General Provisions. (a) This order shall be implemented consistent with applicable law and subject to the availability of appropriations.
(b) Nothing in this order shall be construed to impair or otherwise affect:
(i) authority granted by law to an executive department, agency, or the head thereof; or
(ii) functions of the Director of the Office of Management and Budget relating to budgetary, administrative, or legislative proposals.
(c) This order is not intended to, and does not, create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law or in equity, by any party against the United States, its departments, agencies, or entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any other person.
Sec. 5. Revocations. (a) The Presidential statement of August 9, 2001, limiting Federal funding for research involving human embryonic stem cells, shall have no further effect as a statement of governmental policy.
(b) Executive Order 13435 of June 20, 2007, which supplements the August 9, 2001, statement on human embryonic stem cell research, is revoked.
