Below is an email that I sent to mine...

The informed people wish for a quick death to this proposed government takeover of healthcare.

Why does the government always think they can swoop in and take care of the problem? It is the government that IS the problem.

Now I am not saying that we don't need changes, but a full fledged socialistic takeover of the most important service man provides man is not reform--its a disaster!

Reform Ideas:

Stop legislating what type of insurance people need. This forces people who want basic catastrophic coverage to pay more for the full service coverage that is legislated to them.

Expand on the health savings account platform

Provide for more expansive availability of private insurance (across state lines)

Allow for insurance credits on income tax returns (credits that are good for everyone. In other words, credits that do not get phased out for taxpayers who generate higher incomes). The current income tax deduction on Schedule A is subject to 7.5% of AGI, which makes it all but useless for most Americans.

Break the spirit of the overly litigious society that we have become.

Stop demonizing pharmaceutical companies who make a profit! Their profit is our profit since it is they upon whom we rely for medicines and breakthrough treatments.

Provide a more affordable means for students going into the healthcare profession to encourage more citizens to become doctors and nurses. Loan interest rates can be lowered or eliminated, grants for exceptional students, and other forms of incentives could be provided.

The list goes on and on...

Surely these and other ideas have been kicked around but we don't hear about them. Although Democrats are in charge republicans have a voice too!!! And Democrats shouldn't have to go along to get along. It is time for politicians with a backbone to start fighting for our right against oppressive government intervention in our lives!
