ARE YOU SICK? PRAY ABOUT IT OR DIE QUICKLY

By the time you read this, the House will have voted to dismantle Obamacare’s protections for individuals with pre-existing conditions coming into the HealthCare Marketplace or living in any State that waivers out of the ACA. In addition, it will remove the 10 Essential Benefits currently included in all health care plans, take away Tax Subsidies to help defray the costs of health care, and take money from Medicaid and Medicare so that $600B will be redistributed to the wealthiest Americans in the upcoming Trump Tax Plan. The 400 richest Americans will get a $7 Million windfall EACH.

The plan has NOT been scored by CBO which last time indicated 24 Million Americans would lose access to coverage, 14 Million by 2018, imposes and Age Tax on people over 50 and polling shows only 17% of Americans are in favor of passage.

AND if you get your Health Insurance through your employer, WAKE UP! This will impact YOU. Also, it will defund Planned Parenthood and allow PRIVATE HEALTH PLANS to refuse to cover abortion.

LET’S HOPE IT FAILED.

Also today, Trump has signed an Executive Order that seeks to undo a piece of legislation passed in 1954 called the Johnson Amendment. Although clergy has rarely had issues with the Johnson Amendment, believing that people go to church for spiritual guidance, not political instructions, Trump apparently wants to solve a problem that doesn’t exist. So much for Render unto Ceasar what is Ceasars’. Render unto God what is Gods’? Yeah, no.
