How Much Care Goes Into Health Care?

Every July since 1999 the fairgrounds in Wise, Virginia have been turned into a field hospital by the “Remote Area Medical Expedition”. Free care is provided to those in need. Sanitized horse stalls become examining rooms. A poultry barn is fitted with optometry equipment. An open-air pavilion is filled with dental chairs and lamps. A converted 18-wheeler is an x-ray facility. During the 3-day event 2,700 people from 16 states were treated. Over 50% had no health insurance and 47% were underinsured. In 2009 expeditions are scheduled from Virginia to California – filing in gaps in the health care system.

The first retail clinics opened in 2000, providing more convenient and less expensive health care. A 2009 study published in the “Annals of Internal Medicine” compared the treatment of 3 routine illnesses – ear infection, sore throat and urinary track infection – at retail clinics, doctors’ offices, urgent… Read More…

Obama’s Health Care Plan is Useless

The health care plan that President Obama has proposed will do nothing to solve our health care crisis.  All the plan will do is help those who now have sickness or diseases to help them pay for their treatment and prescription drugs.

 

Now you might say well that’s what it should do, shouldn’t it?  Well you are right it will help do that but that doesn’t solve our health care crisis.  The only thing that will finally solve that problem is education.

 

What I mean by that is you need to teach people what they must do to be healthy and stay healthy.  My proposal is to establish health learning centers in various cities all over the country.

 

In those learning centers people would learn about healthy diet procedures, proper exercise, weight control, stress management and mind control.  The staff that would run these centers would… Read More…

Health Care Systems Around the World: Britain?s National Health Service

According to a recent study by the Cato Institute of Britain’s National Health Service (NHS), there is no perfect scenario when it comes to health care.  On one side of the spectrum is the desire to have unlimited medical care to extend one’s life as much as possible, and the other end of the spectrum is to ration care to control spending.

The NHS is a centralized government version of the one-payer system in England, and it pays directly for health care and finances the system through general tax revenues.  Most physicians and nurses are government employees.  Below are some key statistics to keep in mind when looking at a government system without competition.

Waiting Times. Presently as many as three quarters of a million Britons are waiting to be treated in Britain’s hospitals. Cancer patients, for example, will wait as long as eight months before being treated.… Read More…

Your Own Health Care Plan

God’s Word has given us an alternative to this world’s health care plan and system and we need to switch now.

It really makes me angry to see how the body of Christ is being taken advantage of by the health care of this world’s system.  The devil has used this system to take control of their health as well as their finances.

I pray for a revelation of the healing that was provided for all of them by the broken body of our precious Lord Jesus, which can remove any and every sickness, disease, and infirmity.

Jesus told us to remember what He did for us so that we can make the switch,

1 Cor 11:24 And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me. KJV

Jesus told… Read More…
