Hi Messrs Obama, Feingold, Kohl, Petri;
I do think we need some sort of health care reform, but I feel extremely uncomfortable with the almost 2000 page Bill that Ms. Pelosi is trying to ram through without folks knowing what it all contains. Please take your time and carefully examine what it all contains and get rid of the baggage, and make sure that it does't bankrupt the country.
As you know, big government has not done a stellar job managing Medicare/Medicaid, and Social Security, so why would I think that Health Care Reform would be any better, especially with the Democrats rushing it through the Senate and Congress so hastily. Take a better look at what you are doing, and lets get some bipartisanship involvement included, PLEASE.
