Open Letter to Congress:  

So called Healthcare Reform is an intrusion into our personal freedoms and liberties.

We are against this Government Healthcare Reform bill.  We do not want government coming in between us and our physicians. How dare this administration try to have some Washington bureaucrat tell our doctor what is the appropriate test and form of treatment.  Medical issues are personal and private matters…i.e. NONE of the government’s business!  

We want less government intrusion in our lives.  The USA has the BEST healthcare in the world.  People come here for help…no one leaves the USA for care (unless it is experimental procedures or drugs).  

What we need is TORT reform to bring down costs.

The government has proven over and over that it cannot run programs as effectively as the private sector.  Look at Medicare, Medicaid, Cash for Clunkers, Amtrak, or the Postal Service.  How about trying to eliminate waste and fraud in these programs for 2 years?

We reject the “nanny-state” idea of universal healthcare.  Encourage insurance companies via tax breaks to offer more options of affordable coverage.  But no government mandates of fines.  This is about personal freedom and choice.

Isn't it curious that no legislators are willing to sign up for the Obama plan for their own families.   It is also worth noting the number of people who vote without READING the bill. 

The President is prevaricating in his “bully pulpit” appearances.  He says we can keep our existing plan…the bill says that is for about 5 years before we must change…or be fined.  He talks of keeping costs down...at the sacrifice of quality of life for the patient? 

If you take medication, you know there are side effects.  Sometimes you must try two or three different medications to find the one that gives you the least objectionable side effects.  If it happens to be a more expensive drug, will a government bureaucrat  tell us, "Sorry, you get the cheaper pill...deal with it."?  Will the government bureaucrat also decide which doctors are performingproperly?  Will political persuasion enter in to their decisions?  Whydoes the Obama administration want to limit liberty?   This is freedom?!  The founding fathers are rolling over in their graves!

How can some Congressmen lecture us on being responsible with regard to healthcare, when they are irresponsible in thier jobs by not doing their work (reading a bill, giving themselves exemptions to legislation, or listening to the majority of people in this country)  Congress is  elected by us, the people, not by the special interests.  It may take some time, but we the people will make changes to our representation.  

Be forewarned Congress...you and your colleagues may be looking more earnestly at the unemployment numbers, as you may be joining their ranks in the not too distant future. 

I think Job creation is a more important issue for Washington to concentrate on.

Wake up and stand up America for what is right and for  FREEDOM!
