RE: Please REJECT Socialized Health Care!
Dear [Sen./Rep.] [LAST NAME]:
This is a letter I thought I would never write. I know you know what I am about to say but it appears some of you have forgotten. You keep adding more and more junk entitlements to the political menu. We have ragging debt which is causing us to pay an interest payment of around the amount of $9m a month. We have people out of work. The housing market is in the tank. The stock market is falling. (This upturn is a reaction to Obama’s falling approval numbers). All other major sectors are falling as well.
So what does Congress do but introduce new TRILLION DOLLAR programs (Government take over of health, A Cap and Tax energy bill, Bail-outs and the take-over of other sectors), and all this with no money in the bank. This is like adding fuel to an already out of control fire. So now what does the administration say their going to do? They want to RAISE TAXES ON THE MIDDLE INCOME EARNERS, because, there are not enough rich people to tax. Oh wait a minute aren’t they, the middle income earners, the ones out of work??
Without jobs no one can pay taxes. We have around 10% of Americans out of work. That equates close to 22% less revenue for the government coffers. In terms of dollars the Government as lost $330 Billion in revenue in the first six months of this year.
You don’t have to be a tax evader to figure this out. Lets just stop all of this BS and concentrate on the one problem that has to be solved first. THAT AIN’T HEALTH CARE.
I'm writing to ask you to please REJECT H.R. 3200, "America's Affordable Health Choices Act of 2009," or any other attempt to force socialized health care or government-mandated health insurance on Americans.
Our current health care system is not broken, it is just too expensive. About 95% of Americans have health plans available to them and around 85% like what they have. A lot of that cost has to do with government mandates of which there are 6,000 of them across the country. Malpractice insurance for doctors one other reason for the high costs as well.
The technology boom, not physician care have completely changed the playing field in regards to medical care. If we didn't have all the technology that is at our fingertips for the care of so many exhaustively expensive medical conditions we wouldn't be having this discussion today.
There are a variety of procedures that cost upwards of $100,000, and extended care conditions that run upwards of $1,000,000. Organ transplant surgery, in vitro fertilization, high tech care of extremely premature infants, multiple modality cancer treatments, whole body and organ scanning, cardiac procedures, endoscope procedures, have all exploded in terms of their use in our country. This would never have occurred if they were not all subsidized with health insurance monies. All this could be lost if the government got control of the insurance plans.
At least in my opinion leave the current health care plans as is until the real problem is solved. Just in case you forgot, nothing will get fixed or work if people don’t have JOBS. Money must be generated FROM JOBS. Government revenue is generated from taxes on people who HAVE JOBS. JOBS that produce products and services, from the private sector not Government jobs that consume taxes. JOBS must be created first, fast, and foremost.
Sincerely,
[YOUR NAME]
