    I follow the Bible not the "modern meaning." Oh, what happens to your health insurance if you and your husband lose your jobs like over 10% of Americans? The Bush depression is actually just getting started.

    When speaking to someone in this modern age, I don't use just the Biblical meanings of words (well, the KJV meanings of words). "Minister" today means to be a leader of a church, a pastor, an ordained man of God. I'm not any of those. I'm a child of the King. If I walked up to Joe Blow on the street and told him I was a "minister", what would he think I was?


    We lose it and then we find new jobs to get insurance again. Health insurance is not a basic human right. We must work for it.

    Your brother still won't get free health care under Obama's plan. His church doesn't pay taxes, Social Security, or unemployment, so he won't qualify.

    I agree that we must work for it.... But, I think insurance should be portable. And, I really don't have a problem with the government temporarily helping people pay for insurance while they are between jobs for up to a year. After that, they should qualify for MediCare. But, I don't think these changes mandate a Government takeover of health care.

    I also think unemployment and temporary medical insurance should be expanded to include those who were fired from a religious or non-profit organization (in such a way that it is optional for churhes and non-profits to participate).

    What do you think?
