Exodus 15:26 If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the Lord thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the Lord that heals thee.
If you are on a fixed income and if you do have preexisting conditions you can be faced with hard and difficult options. The haunting question would always be, what am I going to do in case of an unexpected emergency? Or what would happen to me if I developed a situation that required major surgery, with an extended stay in the hospital? Will persons then have to sell their souls in order to access the health care system, or is there another option on the table?
Again, if you want to get a pulse of the realities on the ground, all you have to do is speak to one, Miss Montgomery, who, at 63 years of age is now facing a relentless battle with lung cancer, and whose costs per month could go from $541.00 to $1758.00 per month. Listen carefully to her cry, in her own words, as she mulls the possibility of what that could mean for her in her situation:
“I have to face the reality that I am probably going to become a late-stage cancer patient who’s uninsured,” Montgomery said. “I have fought this so hard. I want to live.” Now, while we are not here to take sides with this or that position we cannot help crunching the numbers and reasoning things to their logical end. If, like Miss Montgomery, you simply don’t have the resources to pay your premiums, and you have an unfortunate health crisis on your hands, what will your options be?
2nd Chronicles 7:14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
