Yes but the post referred to Jesus speaking to His people and in ancient Israel there were no “bread and circuses.” I really saw nothing in Jesus’ teachings that would indicate He suggested handing over your time, talent and treasure to the government to do with as it wished. Yes we are to obey our earthly rulers, to the extent they do not force us to violate God’s Word. But in no way is there some kind of centralized governmental control proposed by Christ.
Oh absolutely I KNOW the REAL AGENDA and that is centralized control of our lives…every aspect from lightbulbs to mammograms. Sadly most people are woefully ignorant of what is happening in healthcare finance both for physicians and for hospitals. They hear things like “free birth control” and think isn’t this wonderful. I guess their mom never told them nothing is really for free…most of all our precious freedom.
Could be, but I’m not about to turn in the $2,000 per month I draw from SS above my state salary, on principle. You may come to be singing a different song when you’re eligible for SS.
IMHO it is sad to think my father almost 60 years ago, surrendering a couple years of his life to Uncle Sam tacking all around Europe to defeat a totalitarian regime, only to have to watch it imposed on us now. Oh well, they won the battle we lost the war.

No you are right Jesus never said for us to worship the State, he said to worship His Father.
I would almost be tempted to shed a tear with you, if I didn’t have from my childhood, firsthand knowledge of what an ACTUAL totalitarian regime is really like.
Whoa there. Are you accusing our Savior of misleading His listeners? Be very careful lest in holding on to your personal convictions you allow something that is more precious to drop…

It’s going to be the same for healthcare. Even if the ACA is disassembled. Something along the same lines is going to follow. This is the wake up call. Rise and shine.Thank you, and there is nothing contradictory in the US government’s constitution and totalitarianism. We all know how to boil frogs.I would almost be tempted to shed a tear with you, if I didn’t have from my childhood, firsthand knowledge of what an ACTUAL totalitarian regime is really like.
He paid taxes. How do you get more explicit than that?
Not when the government thugs can come in and take half of my taxes and give them to somebody else. That money I earned and it is in someone else’s pocket with only 50% of it kept as handling fee for the thugs who took it.
Woefully ignorant how? Where are the Medicare cuts that have been made? It’s time to cut through the rhetoric and get real: who planned them, why, and when have they been implemented?
Oh yeah throw down the gauntlet. Okay pal I’ll take you up on your challenge.
Which tax did Jesus pay? There was no Roman income tax, and Christ owned no real property.
seekerz you are speaking of the Doc Fix" which indeed is always (and usually at the last minute) shelved for yet another year. However this is not the point nor the reason Obamacare is such a nightmare for physicians and their patients.From your own link:
(emphasis mine)
That took me all of 2 seconds. And yes, I did ask you to show me how they “have been cut”.
Maybe later we can delve into why and when the planned cuts were imposed and how and if they have been implemented…Ciao!
Once again you ignore the result which is less access, less care, more misery for our fellow citizens. Just hope you stay healthy Mickey since your theories mean you won’t get care when you need it.They oulawed slavery?:extrahappy:
Lisa, I think the point is. Healthcare is becoming a resource. What your employer may hope for in the way of fees. May no longer be forthcoming.* If* the number of physicians that will treat medicaid patients gets too small. There will be a solution to the problem. Rest assured.
Not to put the medical profession on a level with entertainment. I’d like to draw a comparison with the music industry. The “Rock Star’s” are finding themselves in a similar predicament. They can no longer expect the huge profits, they used to recieve from their work. Because, technology has moved on. Sharing a song is just too easy to resist. They have gone so low as to sue a parent because their child has downloaded a song from the internet without paying. That should serve as their wake up call. Society has moved on.

Why are you confused? Did you not know we can be compelled to do anything our masters require if only they impose a mandate/penalty/ tax on us for failure to comply.
