Reformation in the
Health Care
System
Years ago I was given a dream in which I saw an eagle in flight. It had a crippled wing and it was about to crash. The Lord spoke to me in the dream and said, "Pray that both wings of the Eagle are healed and through prayer you can call forth the wind to bear the eagle up in flight." I knew the dream was a challenge for all of us in the U. S. It was not about "right" or "left", it was about the necessity of both wings doing their job for a healthy eagle to fly. Let's pray that way.
We need to pray for the voice of authentic compassion to be trumpeted and also pray for true righteousness to be revealed through the laws of the land. (As I encourage in the video below, the Spirit of God does not honor prayer for those in authority from a mean spirit. We can only approach the throne of God with clean hands and a pure heart!) Again, please adjust this emphasis to your own nation, province or state. It is righteousness that we want to reign. We need a reformation in our Health Care Systems across the globe! The issues are very complex but we do want compassion and truth to be wedded to one another.
The following recent quote from Rick Joyner demonstrates what I am talking about, "an Eagle needs both a right wing and a left wing to fly." I appreciate the thought here; it is very important that we do not polarize into the place that we (right or left) have all the answers to the Health Care crisis! We are Kingdom people first. Yes, there is much opportunity here in the United States to see the health care system work better and to ensure that people, real human beings, are not slipping though the cracks and suffering because of a failed system. But let's pray! There is a crisis in the land!
For sure, I acknowledge the need for change in America's health care system. Rather than going into a deep analysis expressing my own personal views, I have presented several of the issues at stake through well informed excerpts of others below. I quoted Rick Joyner previously in this article, as he is one of our statesmen in the generation. He and his team have spent hours reviewing the health care bill that is before the U.S. Congress, and they seem to have done a fair and quality analysis of it. You can read Rick's analysis at the MorningStar website weekly.
Below you will find quotes from various sources sharing thoughts on the U.S. Health Care Reform bill. Our intention is to simply provide some of the issues over which you can be in prayer:

'Abortion Will Be Covered... And It Should Be.'
For those of you keeping track, the number of proofs that abortion is included in the health care overhaul officially hit seven last week at a townhall meeting in San Jose, California. House Democrat Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-Calif.) did a fine job of making FRC's (Family Research Council) case after a member of the audience specifically asked about the abortion mandate. The text of the exchange follows:QUESTION: "[This is a ] health care plan that is covering abortion, which we know that over 90% of abortions are purely elective, not medically necessary. Why is this being covered when abortion is clearly not health care?" (Applause).
REP. LOFGREN: "[This is a] basic benefit plan developed by, um, health professionals . . . Abortion will be covered as a benefit by one or more of the health care plans available to Americans, and I think it should be."It doesn't get any clearer than that. . . (Family Research Council; Washington Update; excerpt)
Over the past weekend, Washington Post columnist Charles Lane explored the legislation at the root of this particularly controversial aspect of healthcare reform -- Section 1233 on end-of-life decisions. Here are some excerpts of his column:
". . . at least as I read it, Section 1233 is not totally innocuous...
The 1997 ban on assisted-suicide support specifically allowed doctors to honor advance directives. And last year, Congress told doctors to offer a brief chat on end-of-life documents to consenting patients during their initial "Welcome to Medicare" physical exam. That mandate took effect this year.
. . . section 1233, however, addresses compassionate goals in disconcerting proximity to fiscal ones. . . .If it's all about obviating suffering, emotional or physical, what's it doing in a measure to 'bend the curve' on health-care costs? ". . .
Though not mandatory, as some on the right have claimed, the [end-of-life] consultations envisioned in Section 1233 aren't quite "purely voluntary," as Rep. Sander M. Levin (D-Mich.) asserts. To me, "purely voluntary" means "not unless the patient requests one." Section 1233, however, lets doctors initiate the chat and gives them an incentive -- money -- to do so. Indeed, that's an incentive to insist.
Patients may refuse without penalty, but many will bow to white-coated authority. Once they're in the meeting, the bill does permit "formulation" of a plug-pulling order right then and there. So when Rep. Earl Blumenauer (D-Ore.) denies that Section 1233 would "place senior citizens in situations where they feel pressured to sign end-of-life directives that they would not otherwise sign," I don't think he's being realistic...
Taken from the Capitol Hill Prayer Partners Daily Brief
Two polls released this week measured the public's reaction to the healthcare town hall protests, which Big Media and liberal Democrats have condemned as "un-American" and "manufactured anger." According to a Gallup poll, 69% of Americans are closely following the news about the town hall events. How do they feel about the protests? Fifty-seven percent say concerns about the bill are a major reason why the protests are taking place. Independent voters, by a two-to-one margin, are "more sympathetic to the protestors' views." Even 17% of self-identified Democrats say they are "more sympathetic to the protestors' views."
A Fox News poll found similar results. Fifty-two percent of registered voters say the outrage is real; only 29% agree with White House Press Secretary Roberts Gibbs, who called it "manufactured anger." Speaking of the White House, 57% disapprove of the White House request to report "fishy" emails. And when asked how they feel about the government getting more involved in healthcare, only 19% said they felt "reassured," while 17% said it made them "angry" and 31% said they were "frightened" by the idea. And a whopping 92% of voters polled said that they expect members of Congress to read legislation they vote on!
...We learned yesterday that the volume of e-mail pouring into Capitol Hill is crashing the servers. And it was also reported yesterday that a key Senate committee is going to "pull the plug" on the controversial sections of the bill dealing with end-of-life issues.
Don't be intimidated! This is your country - fight for what you believe! (Gary Bauer; End-of-Day; 8/14/09)
While this PrayerStorm has had a more United States focus to it, I do want to encourage everyone to pray that health care is provided for every person in their country. That quality of care is not just something that "America, Canada, Europe, Asia or any other country or people group" should have, but it is something that we should desire everyone to have and benefit from! It is time for a reformation and it is time for change. But these changes must line up with the Word of God, be pro-life, and dedicated towards righteousness while helping the poor and the disabled. We must fight for the eagle to be healed! Both wings!
Pray that wisdom will be granted to the lawmakers in America as they wrestle through how to bring needed reform to the health care system here. Pray that righteousness will govern their decisions. Pray that our nations take a stand for life. Pray that the plans of wickedness are cast down and that the plots of the evil one are exposed. Pray that a new adoption movement comes forth across the earth. Pray that the church arises and that the power of God is demonstrated. That is the ultimate reformation needed an explosion of the power of God.
So let's pray. Let's fast. Much is hanging in the balance right now. It is time to mount the walls of intercession for a Reformation in the Health Care Systems of the earth.
