Heaven's Health Insurance Plan

Intro

We spend 2 trillion dollars on it every year—over four times the amount spent on national defense. What can be done about health care? I’ll be back in moment with the prophetic perspective on “Heaven’s Health Insurance Plan.”

Message

Hello, this is Cody Francis with Prophetic Perspectives. Costs for health care have been rising drastically in recent times. With health care costs rising, health insurance costs rise, as well. For a family of four, health insurance runs over $11,000 per year. With the rising cost of health insurance, the number of uninsured is rising as well—with close to 50 million Americans being uninsured. Statistics have been released showing that health insurance coverage for a family costs more than the entire annual income for a minimum wage worker. Politicians, doctors and insurance agents are asking, what can be done? As we think about the crisis our country is facing, does God provide an answer in His Word? Does heaven offer health insurance policies? Is the God of heaven concerned about our physical well being in addition to our spirituality? As we look at this practical subject of “Heaven’s Health Insurance,” let us turn our hearts to the Lord in prayer.
