Health Care—“As a number of clever skeptics have recently pointed out, breaking down the 45 million number [who do not have health insurance] reveals that far fewer folks are actually uninsured. Nearly 10 million of those 45 million aren’t even American citizens, and nearly 17 million of them can easily afford insurance, but choose not to get it... When the numbers are crunched, it turns out that only 11 million legal American citizens who would like health insurance don’t have it, and even that figure is likely high. If we take it at 11 million, that’s less than 4% of the country.

Now, it’s important that we get health care to those 4%, of course. But is it really necessary to rip apart the healthcare system we currently have to do it? Yes, we all want better coverage that’s more affordable and easier to navigate...” An independent study by S. E. Cupp, FoxNews.com

‘American Christians live in the midst of a vast mission field, and this should be a wake-up call...to the magnitude of our task in sharing the Gospel in modern America.’ ‘When the Son of Man comes, shall He find faith on the earth?’ (Luke 18:8).” The Lamplighter
