Dear KKIM Family,

Thanks to our Dear, Dear Friend State Rep. Nora Espinoza of New Mexico we are getting constant updates on the Health Care Debate………

“There will be one bipartisan vote today, and that is against Speaker Pelosi’s overhaul of health care.
There will not be a bipartisan vote for this bill.”

– House Republican Whip Eric Cantor.

Good Afternoon folks –

Speaker Pelosi’s Health Care Bill By the Numbers

November 2, 2009—UPDATED

The Republican Conference has compiled a list of important numbers relevant to Speaker Pelosi’s 1,990-page health care bill:

5.5 million—Number of jobs that could be lost as a result of taxes on businesses that cannot afford to provide health insurance coverage, according to a model developed by Council of Economic Advisors Chair Christina Romer

$729.5 billion—Total new taxes on small businesses, individuals who cannot afford health coverage, and employers who cannot afford to provide coverage that meet federal bureaucrats’ standards

$1.055 trillion—New federal spending on expanded health insurance coverage over the next ten years, according to a Congressional Budget Office preliminary score of the bill

.7%—Percentage of all that new spending occurring in the bill’s first three years—representing a debt and tax “time bomb” in the program’s later years set to explode on future generations

$88,200—Definition of “low-income” family of four for purposes of health insurance subsidies

114 million—Number of individuals who could lose their current coverage under the bill’s government-run health plan, according to non-partisan actuaries at the Lewin Group

43—Entitlement programs the bill creates, expands, or extends—an increase from H.R. 3200

111—Additional offices, bureaus, commissions, programs, and bureaucracies the bill creates over and above the entitlement expansions—more than double the number in H.R. 3200

3,425—Uses of the word “shall,” representing new duties for bureaucrats and mandates on individuals, businesses, and States—also more than double the number in H.R. 3200

$10 billion—Minimum loss sustained by taxpayers every year due to Medicare fraud; the government-run health plan does not reform the ineffective anti-fraud statutes and procedures that have kept Medicare on the Government Accountability Office’s list of high-risk programs for two decades

Zero—Prohibitions on government programs like Medicare and Medicaid from using cost-effectiveness research to impose delays to or denials for access to life-saving treatments

$634 Billion—Amount that could be saved by denying individuals access to treatments that are not “cost-effective,” according to a report by the liberal Commonwealth Fund; Section 1160 of the bill gives bureaucrats in the Obama Administration virtual free rein to develop a new “high-value” reimbursement system for Medicare by May 2012

2017—Year Medicare Hospital Insurance Trust Fund will be exhausted—an entitlement crisis exacerbated by the bill, which according to the Congressional Budget Office will increase the federal budgetary commitment to health care by $598 billion in its first ten years alone

$2,500—Promised savings for each American family from health reform, according to then-Senator Obama’s campaign pledge—savings which the Administration’s own actuaries have confirmed will not materialize, as the Pelosi health care bill would increase the growth of health care costs

Dear KKIM Family,

Sharon and I are so thankful for our friends in Christ, like Pastor Don and Dorothy Kimbro supplying us with love and encouragement.

Don and Dorothy like many, are guiding me along in my walk as a Pastor.

10 Things Every Minister Needs To Know by Ronnie Floyd should not only be read by Pastors, but by EVERYONE!

Earlier this week I shared with you a quote from the book……..

“Your walk with Jesus Christ determines everything about your life”

There it is in a nutshell! WOW! How AWESOME!

Bad things happen when we go off the path of Jesus!

What do you think about that? Let me know!

How is your walk with Jesus going?

Now read this……….This will impact you!!!

Floyd writes………..

ps Get your Bibles out………

I believe every Minister and Church needs to go deep into the first Chapter of the Book of Ephesians. We need to learn for the first time, or refresh our memories on what God says about each one of us.
I discovered this again and taught this to our people recently for 5 weeks under the theme: “Who Am I?”
People were freed.
The personal heritage, personal insecurities, and the abusive ways, words, and expectations of others place most Christians in the prison cells of bondage.
NOTE: AMEN! AMEN! are you starting to feel free in Christ?
Therefore people begin to “gain their identity” more from “what they do,” than from “who they are.” This is not God’s will.
Go into the Bible text found in Ephesians 1:3-14, take it apart (Sam) maintain balance, and learn who you are in Christ!
It will change everything about you.
NOTE: I read the scripture over and over and prayed and prayed and cried tears of joy!
On the last day of the series, I gave out a printed statement the size of a postcard for people to remember what I had taught them for those 5 weeks.
The statement reads…………

WHO AM I?

In Jesus Christ,

I am chosen miraculously, accepted completely,

forgiven freely, planned providentially,

and rich spiritually.

Floyd continues to write…..I read that statement almost daily. I keep it in my prayer journal to remind me of who I am in Jesus Christ.

WOW! I am blown away! What an impactive message!

Praise God for men like Ronnie Floyd, Don and Dorothy Kimbro carrying out the Great Commission……..Spreading the good news!!!

PS.By the way my middle name is Floyd, after Grandpa Floyd Caraway!!!

I leave you with this from max Lucado……….

Christ hasn’t budged from his throne,& Romans 8:28 hasn’t evaporated from the Bible.

Please keep my hero Uncle Joe in your prayers.he has the flu and some other problems. As many of you know he is 93 and is like a Dad to me. He was going to the Doctor today with the help of his daughters, Mary Ann and Marla.

Thank you all for your prayers for Sharon and I. Thank you for you asking about the kids.

I feel so blessed to be able to write these words to you all………..I would love to hear from you..your words of encouragement and prayers keep us going.
I have been asked to start a Church here in Albuquerque, but I have a Church here at KKIM and the Cup and being Associate Pastor under Pastor Jim Montoya at the Church of God ……..I have learned that we need to pray everyday for the Lord’s will to be done, not ours. This is all about Jesus.

Love this scripture……….

My life is worth nothing unless I use it for doing the work assigned me by the Lord Jesus. Acts 20:24

Let us all remember…God used Moses and Paul to remind us He transforms “the least of us” to be light in darkness” AMEN! Read that again….WOW.we are dealing with Dynamite Today!!! The POWER OF GOD!!!!

and may favorite song………..

For such a time as this I was placed upon this earth………

Join us in prayer………..

Lord, we come to you today and thank you for the opportunity to share Your Word with all. I pray Lord that today lives will be changed from reading this Cup and the words of wisdom from Your servant Ronnie Floyd. In the name of Jesus, AMEN!

In the Love of Christ, Dewey Sharon and family
