ATLANTA -- One of Atlanta's most historic churches, Ebenezer Baptist Church, is calling health care for all Americans a moral right, not a privilege.

Sunday’s sermon was anything but routine for the Rev. Raphael Warnock as he preached health care reform to thousands in his congregation.

“You are to call senators Johnny Isakson and Saxby Chambliss and tell them to pass this health care reform bill and pass it now,” said Warnock. “We can’t ignore the fact that 47 million Americans have no health care at all and millions more are under insured. Let’s gather in front of their office if necessary, march in the streets if necessary to get action.”

Two of the churches most famous pastors are Martin Luther King Jr. and Martin Luther King Sr. It is in their honor that Rev. Warnock said he is fighting for change.

“In their time they fought for civil rights, now we are fighting for health care reform,” said Rev. Warnock.

“The people who can’t afford it on their own, I think they should be helped in some way by the government so that everybody can have health insurance. My husband was laid off back in April and now we have to pay for our own health insurance and it is quite expensive so we don’t know how long we can keep doing that,” said Vickie Moore, who attended the sermon.

Both Republican Sens. Saxby Chambliss and Johnny Isakson released statements regarding the health care bill that passed it’s version in the house.

"Senator Chambliss believes our health care system needs to be reformed so that all Americans have access to affordable, quality care. However, he will not support a bill that raises taxes on American families. Once the Senate has a final health care bill, he will be actively involved in the debate,” said Ashley Nelson, Press Secretary for Chambliss.

"Of the thousands of Georgians who have contacted my office or participated in my town hall meetings over the past several months, the vast majority are very leery of being pushed into a government-run health care system that will have to be paid for with higher taxes and cuts in benefits for our seniors who use Medicare. We have yet to see the bill that Harry Reid will bring to the Senate floor, but I will not be part of driving Americans to a government-run health care system that will raise taxes, kill jobs, and place a massive burden on Georgia and other states to pay for a proposed expansion of Medicaid,” said U.S. Sen.Johnny Isakson.

It is now in the hands of the Senate to pass their own version of health care reform. President Barack Obama said in a press conference he hopes to sign something into law by the end of the year.
