A Blow to Obamacare

Radio Commentary, 90.7, 91.7 New Life FM, August 22, 2014 – By Sue Ella Deadwyler

On July 22nd the U.S. Court of Appeals ruled on the legality of Obamacare in states that did not establish a health insurance exchange. Immediately, State Representative Jason Spencer issued a press release explaining how Obamacare would be affected in Georgia, if the decision is upheld. This is what he said.

The Court invalidated the mandatory taxpayer subsidies that helped people pay insurance premiums through Obamacare’s federal exchanges. Since the Court struck down the subsidy plan, enrollees have to pay out-of-pocket full premium prices for their insurance, whether they choose a gold, silver or platinum plan. But the Court failed to explain whether subsidies already distributed would have to be repaid to the government.

Since Georgia, reportedly, was the first state to ban the creation of a state health insurance exchange under Obamacare and, subsequently, did not establish an exchange, millions of local exemptions from Obamacare mandates were affirmed by this Court decision. Benefiting from Georgia exemptions are 11,000 businesses, 420,227 low-to-middle income individuals and 112,991 state employees, for a grand total of 2.5 million Georgians now exempt. Also, Georgia taxpayers benefit with untold millions of dollars that will not be redistributed for Obamacare in Georgia. Continue reading →

Israel

Radio Commentary, 90.7, 91.7 New Life FM, August 16, 2014 – By Sue Ella Deadwyler

On January 15, 2014 the Georgia General Assembly adopted two senate resolutions supporting the Nation of Israel.

S.R. 741 by Senator John Albers expressed strong support and a steadfast commitment to the security, welfare, and survival of the Jewish State of Israel with secure borders and the right to protect itself against terrorism. It called for an end of attacks against Israel; for the recognition of Israel’s right to exist as a Jewish State; and for the U.N. to stop blaming Israel for defending itself. It encouraged Georgia lawmakers and citizens to give vigorous enduring support to the State of Israel.

S.R. 739 by Senator Judson Hill reached back into the Old Testament to affirm Israel’s right to occupy land deeded to the Jews “in the Old Testament … scripture held sacred and revered by Jews and Christians … as presenting the acts and words of God.” Continue reading →

“Sin All Dolled Up”

Radio Commentary, 90.7, 91.7 New Life FM, July 4, 2014 – By Sue Ella Deadwyler

Good morning, Jim.  A recently published article explains how liberalism violates all of the Ten Commandments.  The author said, “[Leftist ideology] is sin, all dolled up and doled out,” and proceeded to prove it with each Commandment.

The First Commandment says, “Thou shalt have no other Gods before me,” but liberalism denies the existence of God and substitutes religious pluralism.  Secular humanism denies God altogether and crowns man king over himself and everything else.

The Second Commandment says not to make graven images, but liberalism worships things instead of the Creator and the sins of the flesh instead of the Son of God who became flesh. Continue reading →

SNAP Testing

Radio Commentary, 90.7, 91.7 New Life FM, April 18, 2014 – By Sue Ella Deadwyler

Good morning, Jim. A week into the session Representative Greg Morris introduced H.B. 772 to tighten up requirements for receiving food stamps. It went through 14 stages of the legislative system and was voted on eight times before it finally passed. In his press release Representative Morris called his bill “common sense legislation,” and said, “Hard working Georgians expect their tax dollars to be used responsibly and efficiently, and under no circumstance should the government fund someone’s drug habit.”

That was January 22nd, when the bill began its convoluted trip through committee substitutes written in both House and Senate and further amendments in the floor debate. The Senate tabled it for two days then, took it off the table to pass the last day of the session.

So, effective January 1, 2016 food stamp cards will include a picture of at least one household member authorized to receive food stamps, and adult applicants must pass a drug test administered by the Georgia Department of Human Services. Applicants on Medicaid will pay only $17 for the test, but food stamp recipients that do not qualify for Medicaid will be charged the full cost of their test. Suspicion of drug use will be sufficient to prompt a drug test, and applicants that pass the test will be reimbursed with food stamps that were withheld during the testing process. Continue reading →
