Sorry to keep writing to you about health care, but someone really doesn't get it, because this issue keeps coming up. I'll make it really simple:
1) We're not the USSR. Stop the socialism. Back in the USSR was a great Beatles song, but it's lousy governmental policy.
2) Forcing people to get healthcare is NOT constitutional. Change the constitution by lawful means. Stop stealing people's rights. We have a right to life, liberty, and happiness, not an obligation to buy health insurance. Only 35% of Americans want what you're selling. Will you PLEASE stop shoving this down our throats?
3) Higher taxes mean people will lose their medical care. Please don't pretend that shifting costs to fees or using budgeting tricks will fool us. Stop forcing on us something we do not want or need.
4) I know that you are concerned that doing nothing will lead to higher governnmental and personal costs for healthcare. How about having LESS government control of healthcare? When I get my paycheck, I have to decide how the 100% of net income will be spent. Unless I choose to blow the budget on a credit card, I'm limited to the 100% that I earn. Only the government seems to have the "unlimited" resources to make commitments it cannot keep. Is it possible to trust us to make our own decisions, or do you think we are little children who cannot make our own choices?
5) We are already out of money. When you borrow or print money, it means you cannot afford what you have already committed to. It does not mean you can commit to something new, unless you are willing to steal from your children. Doing that is shameful.
