As you guys and gals know, I can be quite caustic. But, in this e-mail, I will refrain from my usual causticness.
I am writing concerning the Obama-Care Health Bill.
As you know, I am not necessarily opposed to the over-haul of the Health Care System which you contemplate. However, I do feel that you are trying to bit-off much more than you can chew.
So, let me make a suggestion.
Why not institute the change slowly. In that way, you can see how the plan works and make adjustments.
I suggest that you start by lowering the age at which one can apply for Medicare to 50. Starting at 50, it becomes hard to obtain good health insurance. So, why not start to reform the current health debacle by reducing the age at which one can apply for Medicare to 50.
To fund the system, I would think that a small, 1% increase in the Social Security Tax should be able to handle the matter.
