Leave health care alone

Rep. Charlie Wilson

September 11, 2009

 I have read the health care bill, and I am totally against it. The way to fix health care is to bring Tort Reform and allow Insurances to be purchased across state lines. Not control it by the Federal Government. I am a disabled Veteran and I know how a government health care is run. The VA is slow and very inefficient. The other day I went to the Emergency room at the local VA hospital and it was 5 hours before I was seen and a total of 6 hours before I was able to leave. And this was just over an injury involving a nail. While I was there at the hospital there was 3-4 older men that was having shortness of breath and other problems that could have been related to a heart attack and it took them 2-3 hours to be seen. I was seen at a civilian hospital a couple of months ago for Chest pain and I was back on a bed in less than a minute with an EKG being performed.

The differences I have seen between the VA hospital and the civilian hospital scares me if the government gets control of health care.

Please speak out about this Health care bill!! Let the President know that the people that you represent are against it, and that you will not support it.

I know this way this issue is being handled will play a large part in the coming elections.
