People of Faith for Health Reform

[CrimeReport]

Did you guys go to Rev. Wright's 'church' in Chicago?

Talk about the synagogue of Satan....

[StigmataBOB1]

Question: Should the Government ban Cigarettes? Knowing it is a health hazard? Or should they just continue to collect Taxes off people who are addicted to Cigarettes? The death toll from cigarettes is much higher than wars. What should the government do? Stay out of our lives, and loose the tax revenues? When the government tells us what is good for us, no one is going to like it. Only one solution, know why people smoke. The answer is found in the Fatima message.

[rustaayy]

The government is already telling you what to do: cant smoke weed, cant own auto rifles, cant travel on airplanes before being searched. The only thing it wont tell you to do is accept their public OPTION. So dont dilute the facts.

[louis12346]

IRS to give similar information to the vast, new health care bureaucracy. personal tax information of millions of Americans would enter the system whether they want it to or not. "There's a mandate to buy insurance," "You have to buy it. You have millions of people who can't buy it without a subsidy, so they will have no choice but to accept the subsidy in order to buy insurance, e Health Choices Commissioner will have access to their tax records."

"How many hands information go through?"

[wtg2989]

I cannot believe that Obama is using the church now to push his socialized medicine. These people have to be getting paid. They say it's good to push for this bill, but that is wrong, because Jesus was against one man forcing another to give charity. It's not charity, just high taxes. These guys are cocksuckers

[josi5678]

thats my daddy on here

[uuubeut]

Single Payer Medicare for all , paid for by a small fractional health fee on every stock or commodity traded on all the stock and CTB, surely Americans can live with this. Like the fees associated with your telephone or utility.

[CastorT64]

This video is filled with Obama stooges. These clowns certainly do not represent real Christians.

[jbrock07]

Great video

[CJosephArt]

Talking heads for satan! What will they think of next? You so called faithful might want to crack open a bible and stop looking to government to do God's work. Oh, I guess serving two masters is okay for those "faithful" in the Obama camp.

"Gimmy gimmy gimmy..... whaaaa, I want the government to take over my life!"

Reform insurance companies reform pharmaceutical companies but DO NOT allow the government to have any more control!

[Silveracity]

If you pray for better health care and your health insurance premiums then go up,... that would mean better health care costs more, doesn't it?

[wadester100]

This is a great video! Some of the comments here are so evil and un-Christian. America's greatest evil is the Fundamentalist Church! Thank GOD it is shrinking every year Pew Research studies these whacks! Socialized Medicine ~ I love all these idiots who claim to hate socialized medicine. I wonder how many are on Medicare or Social Security? All those who are currently receiving these two Socialist Programs, WITHDRAW NOW!!! And don't ever accept it when you become of age or disabled.

[biometricsislavery]

WAKE UP!! Obama is continuing Margaret Sanger's racist "Negro Project" /watch?v=GfFVKqHWJU0

[jbeatyballs]

The groups in this video are run by Jesuits who answer to Rome.

New World Order.

It starts with Health Care.

Search "Benedict New World Order"

[TVAboy1]

cancelling the HMO system would be the way to go. But Obama's reforms are based on the idea that there are some not worthy to be saved. What, is this guy trying to outdo Hitler?

[wjhamilton3]

A positive effort. I recorded some video and put it on youtube regarding the health care effort back in June. The House bill doesn't include funding for abortion, which is usually an elective procedure.  It isn't funded any more than nose jobs are, for the same reason.

[magicgrapekoolaid]

morally depraved religious people

[magicgrapekoolaid]

False Prophets. They support the shedding of innocent blood-Something that G-d hates!

[carlbbox]

ya gotta love it when they try to use language of Christ to push for abortion. they can't say, "will you please pray that the government will reimburse abortionists at a level 5 times that which we can scare women into paying?"

so instead, they say, "please pray for healthcare reform."

the second version *sounds* nicer, but the first version is really what's going on.

[dizzymasekela]

Awesome video! Support the public option!

America's only real enemies are Republicans(i.e. anti-American imbeciles).

[suedeslounge]

special interests in Washington are spending millions trying to block healthcare reform.

however the organization that created this video is not funded by a massive lobby of power hungry special interests.

LOL

Pahlease, the healthcare lobby pushing through this catastrophe of a bill has 10 times the funding of the private care backers.

[jbeatyballs]

All roads lead to Rome. Follow the money.

New World Order.

[wadester100]

Wow! Ignorance is a bliss to some!

[CastorT64]

Sorry, no one is listening to you Obama stooges. The American people oppose socialized medicine.

[wadester100]

Actually Health Care Reform still is in the lead in the national polls. Obama won by a land slide and health care was one of his top priorities. Anyone out there currently receiving Medicare or Social Security and you are against Socialism, withdraw from the system now! That includes all the Republican members of congress getting free health care through the Federal plan. America's greatest enemy is the Fundamentalist Christian's. GO AWAY! Your numbers are shrinking but you still scream loudest!

[coolmom9]

Health care reform is not in the majority. Recent polls shoe that most DO NOT WANT their health care messed with. Only about 17 percent of the US is without health care and that doesn't account for those who don't want it and illegals.

Why not get coverage for them and leave the rest of us alone? There is no "healthcare crises". it is manufactured to give Gov't more control over our lives. No thanks!

[thomaserossi]

WTF?

The Christians get shit on by Liberals regularly. Their constantly insulted and forced out of political life claiming "separation of church and state."

This is BS.

[pablos77]

I totally agree that we christians have gotten the bad end of everything that the government touches. And I am stunt by these groups that have forgotten what happen with the public schools! Are they that ignorant! or they just don't care of the outcome in letting the gov. getting involve with our health care.

[fcibrian]

Thank you for your voices. It's time people faith lend their voice to those that do not have access to affordable health care.... Let's win affordable coverage for all Americans.

[jakop92]

Stupid ass democrats. Socialized american medicine would be a complete failure!

[meachtable]

Notice that there are no people of Indian, Muslim, Voodoo, Ancient Greek, Native American, Cthulu, or any other faith in this video. It should be titled People of Christianity for Health Reform. Besides, what happend to the healin' powuh of Jeezuss? Lol...

[ruediix]

I think you are completely missing the point. A vast majority of the listeners to the right wing talk programs that have been spreading the anti-reform propaganda are Christian.

Getting the message out that denying people health care because of cost is against Christian religious belief a very effective way to persuade such people without resorting to misinformation or other forms of deceptive propaganda.

[wantwit]

Well if people who base their decisions on something that equates to believing in the tooth fairy support total government control of my life, maybe I'm all turned around on this issue.

[CynthiaSwallows]

lol

[CastorT64]

So, if Obamacare is so wonderful, why is Congress opting out of it?

[mjdntn]

This video should be labeled, "Liberal people of liberal faith for socialized medicine."

[dejahthoris]

Thanks for posting

[CastorT64]

So, there is a verse in the Bible that says we should blindly support Obamacare?

Hmmmm, that's news to me.

[NduguuSpeaks]

Um, well, actually yes. How about all of the verses commanding the nations to look after the least of these? But, of course, we can just ignore those can't we? Because they don't REALLY mean that. The overwhelming theme in the prophets is concerning the treatment of the poor. Christ himself, our Saviour, urges us to care for the poor. The private sector has failed, who else will do it?

[RPMenefee]

maybe you should read - 2 Thessalonians 3:10 For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat.

I agree that we as Christians are to take care of the less fortunate, the poor, the sick, etc. But our government has stepped in and has usurped the church and is already taking care of most of those people. Where does it stop? The government does too much already. Most people don't need a handout they need a hand-up.

[NduguuSpeaks]

Well, seeing as I'm not a fundamentalist, just quoting one verse does not deter my conviction that the present health care crisis needs to be ended, and that insurance companies are screwing over the people. You say that Christians should help, but how can we help if the government allows insurance companies to rescind on policies? How can we support health care that is simply too expensive for a significant percentage of this nation?

[NduguuSpeaks]

Oh, and stop your war against the poor, many of them try to work, but there simply is no work available, they don't have adequate education or training, they are refused employment (in spite of legislation to the contrary) based upon age, race, creed, or sexual orientation, or any number of things. Please. People need help.

[coolmom9]

Only about 17% of the US is lacking health care ins. and this doesn't account for those who don't want it and illegals.

There is no "healthcare crisis". It is a manufactured problem.

Does healthcare need some reform? Sure, but why mess with the healthcare that others are happy with? Why a huge sweeping beauracratice nightmare?

Figure a way to provide care to those who don't have it, who actually WANT it , and leave the rest of us alone.

[melissabrianne]

Actually, Paul is writing to the church in Thessalonica and telling them that, although Jesus is coming soon, they should not sit around and wait for it - they should work.

The majority of the Bible (the prophets, especially and the teachings and work of Jesus and the New Testament - talk about free healthcare - he just touched people who needed help and they were healed, without premiums!) talk about providing for the poor.

[CastorT64]

This people are mental furr balls. Obamacare is as anti-Christian as you can get.

Oh well, it doesn't surprise. Hitler used a small group of empty-headed, so-called Christians to push his agenda as well.

[Chiszle]

Is it to touchy to bring up the things Bush did to stealroll his agenda through his 8 years?

Give Obama a chance, certainly when the bill isn't even out yet.

[NduguuSpeaks]

You know, you people really love to twist history. My german friends are disgusted by the comparison of Obama to Hitler. They are worlds apart. What you classify as "Obamacare" is hardly anti-christian, indeed it is attempting to level the playing field so that not only the moderately wealthy have health insurance.

[CastorT64]

NduguuSpeaks <-That's funny. My German friends point out the similarities between Obaman and Hitler.

Let's review Obamacare - government dictating health care; rationed care; less care for babies, the mentally ill, and the elderly. So, there is nothing anti-christian about Obamacare? Are you on crack?

[Hispano]

Any one who has read the bill knows these are all lies.

Please, read a book and stop being a sheep.

[NduguuSpeaks]

Okay, if that is what you perceive "obamacare" to be, let's review the present health care crisis:

1. market-driven (i.e. greed-driven) health care; 2. rationed care (47 million people excluded); 3. less care for women, babies, children, mentally ill, the elderly, and the poor. So, actually, it really seems that the present system is even worse.

[coolmom9]

Yes. lets review--there are only about 17 percent without healthcare insurance. That doesn't account for those who don't want coverage and illegals. Brings the number to about 9%. THAT is not a crisis.

Have you ever gotten care under a socialized system? I have--long lines, poor care, wait, wait, wait for every little thing.

And who is going to pay for it? You can only tax people for so long.

[stewart0312]

Wow, Christians being useful for once

[KrunchyGoodness]

what kind of reform?

[lemonjellies]

So in other words, accept the healthcare plan or go to Hell....? :D What will they think of next to brainwash people to conform to their plans.

[Eleazarsc]

This is sickening. They are attempting to use the Church to push a terrible political agenda. They even miss-quote the Bible.

2 Timothy 1:7

For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.

[eslake]

Well,

"quality health care affordable for all." exempts HR 3200 100%.

With Medicare/Medicaid eliminated(1 immediate/1 over time) page 354 says that anyone with "Special Needs" will be restricted from the gov option.

So if you/your child/parent/etc, are disabled, medic-air/aid is gone, and the government option won't take you.

And the bill says no one without some form of insurance can be treated by Any licenced health care provider.

So those who need it most, lose All care.

[eslake]

I won't disagree on the need for reform.

We are in dire need of reform.

But this bill is Not the answer. It denies care to those who need it most, provides it to those who already have insurance they are happy with, and fails to regulate the newly crated posts.

If you are democrat, and the HCC a republican, the bill does not prevent that being grounds to deny you life-saving procedures. And there is No appeals process.

Health Care Reform - Yes.

HR 3200 - NO!

We Can Do Better !

[Boomer1949]

your failing to point out that those with "special needs" qualify for Medicaid and therefore would not need the "gov" option, whatever that is. If your referring to the Public Option, it's been removed from the HR 3200 bill in mark up.

[eslake]

Boomer1949,

and YOU're failing to point out that the bill dismantles both Medicare and Medicaid. That being one of the principle purposes of its creation.

[Boomer1949]

The Congress has issued a plain language version of the bill. I've posted the link in my comment section of my Channel page. Perhaps that can clear up this misconception about doing away with Medicare and Medicaid. There are changes but nothing that suggest that these programs will go away, just be more cost effective.

[Boomer1949]

Please stop making these unfounded claims. They are miss leading and are creating fear when there is nothing to fear in this bill.

Do your really think that anyone in their right mind would exclude care for a special needs child? This bill has been through the process and several mark ups. Don't you think someone would have caught something like this and taken it out? Be real..this is not in the bill and you know it.

[Clint5490]

It's funny how people use God and religion to push an issue. The problem isn't reform. If you would actually read the bill the Obama admin. is trying to push, you wouldn't be so excited. You will be giving the govn't control over which operations you can have. They choose your coverage and give you no choice in most cases. Reform is needed, and there's a lot of good things in the plan. There's just too many negatives. Don't be ignorant and read it before you sign the right to choose away.

[doctorcureton]

Every amendment to exclude taxpayer funding of abortion in healthcare has been defeated.

1. Rep. S. Johnson Amend. in Ways & Means (7-16)

2. Rep. Cantor Amend. in the Ways & Means (7-16)

3. Rep. Souder Amend. in Education & Labor (7-17)

4. Rep. Pitts Amend. in Energy & Commerce (7-30)

5. Reps. Stupak & Pitts Amend. in Energy & Commerce (7-31)

6. Sen. Hatch Amend. #227 in Health, Education, Labor & Pensions (7-13)

7. Sen. Enzi Amend. #277 in H.E.L.P (7-13).

Urge them to protect life!

[damianpodcast]

Families USA estimates that more than 18 working-age Illinoisans die each week

due to lack of health insurance (approximately 960 people in 2006).

Between 2000 and 2006, the estimated number of adults between the ages of 25

and 64 in Illinois who died because they did not have health insurance was more

than 6,100.

Across the United States, in 2006, twice as many people died from lack of health

insurance as died from homicide.

[coolmom9]

I cannot believe you are gullible enought to believe those trumped up stats. Wow--no wonder the US is in such a world of hurt, some much ignorance. . . .mind-boogling!

[brovic777]

Great video. Jesus wants healthcare for everybody!

Anything else is truely anti-Jesus!!

Jesus healed all who came to him!!!!!!!!!

[Aztecdan]

DoctorCureton: You are misguided and misinformed. I pray for deliverance from the evil conservatives that desguise themselves as people of faith... they serve the powers of darkness.

[Aztecdan]

It was about time! It is hard to identify myself as a Christian with all these Lunatic conservatives showing the distorted face of Christianism! Real Christians are not Conservative and want the common good! Good (real) Christians For Affordable health care!

[SASardonic]

Nice to see some truly religious people.

[doctorcureton]

Why not use your moral voice to ask Congress to ensure that paying for abortions and abortion providers will be excluded from healthcare? Why not ask Congress to include conscience protections for healthcare providers who object to performing abortions? Thomas Jefferson said: to compel a man to furnish funds for the propagation of ideas he disbelieves and abhors, is sinful and tyrannical...."  Taxpayer funding of abortion under the guise of "healthcare reform" is sinful and tyrannical!

[frellthat]

Abortions are not covered by the current healthcare legislation, and Obama has said that the nation should continue a tradition of "not financing abortions as part of government-funded health care." Additionally, the House Energy and Commerce Committee has already amended the bill to say that no public money could be used for funding abortions.

Do you realize that this "abortion" fear has been what the right has used to control you and people like you for 30 years?

[doctorcureton]

Abortions are covered. Here is the proof:

1. The House bill specifically includes it. The Capps amendment explicitly allows abortion coverage in the public health plan and subsidizes health plans that cover abortion. (Passed 30-28 in the House Energy & Commerce Committee, 7-30)

2. Senate Democrats admit it. "[The health care bill] would include, uh, it would include, uh, Planned, uh, Parenthood clinics." (Sen. Barbara Mikulski, Senate Health, Education, Labor & Pensions Committee, 7-9)

[frellthat]

You've been lied to. The House Energy and Commerce Committee already amended the bill to prohibit funding of abortions. And the Senate will never allow it. You're just being manipulated by the same typical fearmongering and damagoguery that has characterized the GOP for so long.

[frellthat]

Nonpartisan website FactCheck . org has already dispelled the claims that you are making. Whoever told you that healthcare is covered by the current legislation is lying to you, and you would be advised not to rely on such people for your information in the future.

[doctorcureton]

3. Senate Democrats refused to ban it.

Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah): "Madam Chairman, would you be willing to put some language in [about] not including abortion services? Then I think you would have more support."

Sen. Barbara Mikulski (D-Md.): "...No, I would not, uh, be willing to do that at this time." (July 9, Senate HELP Committee meeting)

4. The mainstream media confirms it. ("Government insurance would allow coverage for abortion," Associated Press, August 5, 2009).

[ruediix]

I don't see text from the bill there, only speculation from discussions in committee meetings, commonly used to take things out of context.

on the mainstream media quote "AP" not only includes standard press news, but editorials, opinion columns, rumor and gossip collumns. Do you have an exact article that we can refrence, or are you going to give us just a half sentence that could begine with "The fact is that it is a myth that"

[frellthat]

Honestly, I can imagine a group of Republican political operative sitting around a table.

Slime A: "Okay, how can we keep our voters ignorant and fearful and get them to vote against their own interests by killing the Democrats' plan to provide them with desperately-needed healthcare?"

Slime B: "Well, what has worked for us so well in the past?"

Slime C: "Oh, I know. Let's tell them it's about ABORTIONS!!"

[ruediix]

Slime D: Let's add in Euthination

Slime E: Oh, it'll raise taxes on the middle class!

Slime F: How about "rationing?" That one is always a good threat (even though we're the only ones who have EVER ACTUALLY done that other than a corporation, like CURRENT health care.)

Slime G: We can't forget "the government will control your lives."

Slime A: Did anyone mention taxes and Abortion?

Slime B: I think so, but lets make sure to put them in again. I get confused at meetings.
