life of a female bible warrior

“I wonder how off base I am with this? I hope I am dead wrong!

You say Obama care has literally saved your bacon. Surely you would never offend God by broadcasting an out right lie? Surely you believe it is always right to tell the truth and always wrong to lie.

Is all your health care free as I suspect? If that is so it has nothing to do with Obama care. That is called welfare.

Why would I suspect such a thing out of you?

1. Every news outlet has failed to find people such as you.

2. An agency was hired by the Government to find such people and to create ads to be put on TV and thus sell Obama care to the rest of the country and so far have come up blank.

3. The State of Oregon has failed to sign up one single person.

4. Those in other States have only signed up because it is the law.

5. It is well reported by all news outlets, even CNN, that the cost of policies have gone up, not down. That does not even count the thousands upon thousands of policies that have been out right canceled.

Spreading things that are false, helps no one. As a professed Christian, surely you would never side with giving false accounts.

Please correct me by giving some actual truthful facts.”

The above comment was a reply to my own in which I clarified that one of the reasons I like President Obama and voted for him in this most recent presidential election was because of the healthcare he has organized and put forth for our country.

I told the commenter above that I could not be more grateful because Obamacare has blessed my little family and for the first time in my life I can afford a decent healthcare plan for my teenage daughter and I.  I’m a single mother and have recently had to take on this expense because my former husband died before Christmas, thus my child’s father was unable to continue keeping her on his excellent Blue Cross Blue Shield policy. He was paying about $1200 dollars a month for the two of them for that policy too.

My child is diagnosed with Bipolar II and requires thousands of dollars of psychiatric medications every month to keep her stable. Thanks to the new Obamacare healthcare plan with Humana that I purchased from Healthcare.gov, these medicines are ten dollars a piece, and some are even less. My own medications are covered as well and sell for similar prices.

Our copays are nominal with the new plan. And there was no deductible! We selected an HMO plan by Humana that has been a lifesaver. We chose a primary care doctor a mile down the road from our home and he’s just excellent. We can also go to any urgent care of our choice for fifty dollars if we need to, and a referral to a specialist is just $35. I feel very blessed by this plan and I’m thankful that the plan is affordable at only $183 a month and it covers both my daughter and I for everything including allowing us to go to the Methodist Hospitals, which are some of the best in San Antonio, Texas.

Why wouldn’t I be grateful? Why wouldn’t I vote for a president who actually cares about people like myself who could never afford our own health insurance before? Why is this so difficult for many in this country to grasp?

There is a plan afoot by conservatives to pull out all the stops to make it look like the Affordable Care Act is a failure and that there are few to none good stories to report about it, like mine; well this is just a pure lie. It’s something I expect to hear from the kind of dishonest reporting occurring every single day on Fox News Network. Elections are around the corner at the end of the year and so of course Republicans want to make our left-leaning government leaders look bad; they want your vote! They also want to be able to close the government down a few more times so that they can cost American taxpayers many more millions than they did the last time they closed it a few months ago.

In response to the above comment, I just wanted to go on record again, one more time, telling the truth about the Affordable Care Act and what it’s done for me and my family.

And to answer the commenter above again, no, my family doesn’t get food stamps. We aren’t on welfare! I’m self-employed as a landlord with my own “housing services” business. I care for the elderly and disabled in a little bed and breakfast I run here on my property and God has blessed this business of mine abundantly and continues to. God has blessed our family by putting President Obama in charge of this nation, for the time being. He is someone who cares about the working poor & middle class. He wants us to have healthcare and be able to survive in a country that provides help for those who struggle.

I’ve seen none of this from the other alleged “Christian” side of the aisle; in fact, I’ve seen the opposite. President Obama has showed real Christianity in action through Christ-like concern and care for the struggling, for single moms and fatherless children, widows, and minorities who have had a hard time. President Obama should be praised not disrespected, lied about, or persecuted by people who claim to love God. Slandering and lying about our wonderful president makes me angry and yes, I feel it is righteous anger. I stand up for those who care about me, who actually try and make my life better; I don’t allow people to tell lies and continuously bear false witness without confrontation.

I do hope God will bless President Obama and his family and make his remaining years as our president successful and happy. May he continue to help those who need it — because some of us are very grateful and are honestly attempting to speak out and share our truth with other Americans who have been deluded by those who want the president to fail.
