Health care & cap and trade

October 31, 2009

Dear Mr. Boswell; here are my circumstances; My wife and I have health care and we want to keep it. And I can Afford it.My wifes wages have been frozen for 2 years, I will not get a cost of living wage for 2 years. With the new legislation of health care, and cap and trade this will raise my taxes.My wife and I have not been able to save anything ever since Bush's administration started in 2001.The new legislation will raise my utility bills and my taxes. I will have to pay for my health care insurance and then taxes to pay for other people's health care. I always paid for my own my whole life, and now at 52 years of age I will be paying for our health care and others. This is not fair. I voted domocrat strait down the line last november, in hopes that things would change, and I would be able to save some money for later in my life. That is not happening, The democrats are poised to increase my taxes and my energy bills. Where am I going to get the extra money? What am I going to have to do with out? What should I hope for? I'm sure I am not the only one in this boat, but I am not getting any answers from any democrats and I voted for them. Where is the concern for the people like me? Think about it wht do I have to hope for? Our future looks pretty bleak. You need to drop these massive spending bills Health care and cap and trade. We cannot afford this. You can regulate the insurance companies, and open up the market to to other states. You can do a lot of things and not cost us a penny. Please think of the people on fixed incomes. I will be watching for you to take a stnd for us.
