Obama health care letter to Congress

:
Another Health Care letter to Senators and House members in Congress

Yet another letter to you regarding my great concern about the big spending Health Care bill that is now before the House and the Senate. I’m sure you have received thousands of letters and calls from the millions of us who are not only OPPOSED to many of the policies contained in the bill, but who are also OUTRAGED that congress would consider passing a bill that the Budget Office has said is fiscally UNSUSTAINABLE!!

I just heard a replay of President Obama promoting “his” Health Care bill today (July 20th). He said that this bill would provide “more options”, “better care”, all at “less cost”. I hate to say this about our President, but those are Lies!

The proposed plan will, in a short period of time, run all of the private insurance companies out of the health care business, leaving ONLY the government plan!

Better care for whom?? Illegal immigrants? Certainly not our senior citizens, for whom it has already been widely stated that care will be rationed. Not getting the care you need is certainly NOT better care.

Less Cost? An independent budget office has already said that the costs are only going to rise and over time will NOT be sustainable.

So now we have a plan being heavily promoted by our President that is actually going to offer: FEWER OPTIONS, LESS CARE and GREATER COSTS!! If you vote for this bill you will condemn every citizen in this country, except for those of you are EXEMPT, to higher taxes, lower quality medical care, or if you’re old, maybe NO medical care.

One other fact I want to point out: If we add 40 – 50 million new people to the Govt. Health Care Program and we have the same number of doctors that we have now, how can you honestly say that the level of medical care in this country will not decrease!!!

Also, if this bill passes and is implemented, many current doctors who are approaching retirement, will no doubt retire earlier than planned in order to avoid having to deal with the government controls that will not permit them to practice medicine as they feel they should. When this happens, we will have fewer doctors, which will only further decrease the quality of care. And, who is now going to be willing to become a doctor?? This is not a pretty picture!!

VOTE NO on the Health Care Bill!!!! ... a concerned [female] senior citizen
