Call a Code Blue! Medicine in America is in cardiac arrest.
If the election results are to be believed, the majority of Americans do not trust themselves and their highly trained physicians to make decisions about their health. Rather, they have relinquished total control of their medical care, including 14 percent of the nation’s gross domestic product to the same crew of incompetents who crashed the housing market, who poured billions into business failures such as Solyndra and who see food stamps as supporting a jobs-growth program.
I am a practicing physician and surgeon, with over 30 years experience in hands-on patient care. I have seen firsthand the march to socialism, and the systematic destruction of the noble profession of medicine. And, believe me, we are at the end game....
As more people are forced onto the system of Obamacare. As the cost continue to rise. As doctors continue to leave the system. As medicines become scarce and research and development dry up. The new Obamacare mantra will be "Don't get sick, and if you do get sick, die quickly." Which for the record has NEVER been the Republican plan.
Has anyone here experienced the soviet mindset or read Wurmbrand's description of trying to share the gospel? they would respond to him in such a way that if the state hadn't told them to think about something, it just wasn't something for them to know. their minds were like a sci-fi novel, given over to the collective. state didn't say God existed, therefore He didn't.
are we going to watch many who said they belonged to Christ somehow think that by serving this eugenics-darwinist-machine, they are serving God?
the mindset of the ends justifies the means? if it helps society to leave the baby to die of thirst, for example, for the bettering of the collective, musn't we?, they may say.
I remember reading that when the communists took over their pastor's meeting, he was the only one to stand up and speak the name of Christ.
National healthcare was always the dream plan for Rep. Claude "Red" Pepper, who used to write a column in the Chicago communist newspaper. His chief of staff was a KGB agent.
This is just one side of the issue. The Frasier Institute recently uploaded an expose of problems with the current Canadian health care system on their YouTube channel

if anyone wants to hear from the other side on this issue.

"civilized"???
The UK has nationalised healthcare only because the evil seed of socialism has been allowed to flourish here. This healthcare (NHS) system has suffered from many many problems over the years and remains so today. Bureaucrats in charge of hospitals and GP practices are a poison to good health services. Governments of all creeds and persuasions have tried to fix the problems and failed miserably. Today the age old enemy of funding is the biggest drain on the NHS's proficiency. We even have a county by county 'lottery' of who gets the best reliable medication to suit the disease.
For socialism - read - bureaucrats and they destroy best management practice in the nations institutions.
For Obama/Democrats - read - socialism and bureaucratic mindedness.

Ah indeed. What Bible version supports national healthcare, Jim? I can't find it in my NASB. But you set all that aside when it comes to politics, right? Apparently that's what you mean by separation. But face it, when someone says they are opposed to something based on Scripture, yet support that which promotes it, it's called hypocrisy.
AARP benefits by Obamacare, don't bother quoting the silly goofs. They no longer have credibility.

In any event as the Republican leadership recognizes Obamacare is here to stay. If not love it, learn to live with it. Many people will live because of it,
BBC News wrote: Fact: Before ACA, pre-natal care wasn't normal women's care. Some 87% of insurance plans on the individual market did not offer maternity or labour and delivery as part of their coverage package.
Women have been going into debt, declaring bankruptcy, ruining their lives; all to give birth.

Yawn. Figures you would again quote a radical leftwingnut Democrat. We don't want to let Obamacare evolve. We want it to die, before it causes people to die.
But, wait they adopted the Social Darwin approach!

"the Russian communist Vladimir Lenin, too, understood the role of medicine when he opined, “Medical care is the keystone in the arch of socialism.”"
The new immigrant to America who has been gradually moving in and taking over is socialism. And America looked the other way. (ps. They vote Democrat) ________
"For the bureaucrat, the world is a mere object to be manipulated by him." Karl Marx
This includes the healthcare of the labor force which becomes a commodity for the socialist Government bureaucrat to manipulate and influence to the good of the national interest.
