Dear Senator,
Although there are some members of our society who do not have healthcare insurance, I am completely opposed to any legislation that is similar to the healthcare measure recently passed by the US House. Health insurance is not a “right.” Nor is there any constitutional obligation levied upon any citizen to “purchase” such a financial instrument from any entity, to include from the US government.
I, along with many Americans, recognize that the purpose of the House measure is not to improve quality, delivery, or accessibility of healthcare to citizens. Instead, the purpose is to nationalize the healthcare industry and move America toward an attempted socialist Utopia - and we know from history that this ultimately means misery - except for the political class, of course. The House measure is a job killer, it is a choice killer, and it is a freedom killer.
Recently, House Republicans presented legislation that seems to address many of the real problems within our health insurance industry. I believe that robust, and thoughtful dialog among diverse viewpoints (isn’t “diversity” an often promoted ethic?) is usually the best method to develop ideal solutions to complex problems. Therefore, the Republican plan should to be given ample consideration through the entire legislative structure. A failure of the US Congress to thoughtfully consider various options would demonstrate complete contempt for the American people.
Several members of congress have introduced measures that would require members of congress to be subject to the same ‘plan’ that is proposed for the citizens. These measures have been quickly and quietly rejected. Why is this the case? Are we not all to be treated equally under the law whether we are members of Congress or private citizens? I would certainly like to know your position on this dimension. Ideally, I would be pleased to learn that you agree that you and I should be provided the same opportunities of choice in health insurance and healthcare.
Please vote no on the Reid Healthcare bill. It is the wrong course for America. It is the wrong course for a free people.
Sincerely,
