Obviously, we have a big problem in this country right now.  Health care is expensive and no two people can agree on just how it's supposed to be paid for.  One of the big problems is that those of us that don't use the doctors for every little bump and boo boo are required to pay for those who do.  It's always been that way by charging up those with insurance and insurance is loosely based on this exact principle.  But that's not all.  Insurance companies are supposed to take the money we have not yet spent when we don't use our policies, and invest it in a wide variety of money making ventures.  The earnings from those profits are also supposed to help pay for the sick.  

My biggest angst against the entire system is that we don't know how to define the sick and the non sick are slowing down and crippling the system.  I believe the real problem is that people are going to the doctor for every little tiny complaint.  They go because off headaches and sinus problems and getting too fat and not sleeping well just to name a few.  Most of the time these things can be resolved through lifestyle changes.  If not, they can't be resolved any better through sitting in a doctors office and swallowing a lot of pills that just lead to more pills.  If a person worries too much they take a pill.  If a person gets angry often, they take another pill.  Pills lead to complications that require more pills.  People need to STOP looking for sympathy and an ear in the doctors office.  God has a plan for all of these problems.  God CARES.

I refuse to add to this growing problem.  Satan can slink onto his home in hell where he belongs.  No matter what attack I might be living with at the moment, I am well.  This body will become weaker and it will die.  But my soul (mind, will, and emotions) and my spirit (my real life) will live and thrive and be happy while I wait for my glorified body when Jesus comes for me.  One of these days I'll get around to signing a DNR document.  I don't want to be resuscitated when it comes to that.  Whether I have another day or week or month or another 50 years, I am eager to see the Lord and live in my eternal home.  While I'm here I'll love my family and friends and anyone God puts in my path.  Life is very simple for me. :)  Just give me the word of God and my faith in him will take care of everything.
