Mainstream media doesn't tell you the whole story - it is all propoganda and support for politicians rather than speaking the truth on policy - on both sides. Seek truth. Learn the facts. Deal with the facts. I encourage you to write your Congressman and tell them to find a better way. Here is my letter - feel free to copy.
Dear Representative Larson,
I am writing you to urge you to vote against the Health Care Reform bill that was passed by the senate in December and that will be reconciled starting in the House.
I believe that health care reform does need reforming and I do believe in many of the parts of the bill. However, there are ways to reform health care without raising taxes and decreasing the deficit. I don't believe that these ways have been seriously considered as they are not represented by a majority of Republicans or Democrats. Sadly, the Republicans have become the party of "No" rather than a party that is portraying a vision of progress. And, sadly, the Democrats have also not listened to the American public on this bill as they are, at least a majority, clearly against it. I don't believe that you should simply vote against the bill because the public doesn't support it. But you should vote against this bill because:
1. The process lacks integrity. Our system of government is losing its credibility and this will further disgust the sovereign people.
2. The bill does not address the true causes of the increase in health care costs
3. The bill lessons, rather than strengthens, the free market approach to health care. We don't have a free market system of health care. We have a system that is monopolized by insurance companies and government. This bill will only further monopolize health care which always increases costs and decreases the quality of services
4. This bill adds additional liabilities on the shoulders of the American public that we cannot carry. We are heading into the worst financial burden from our government in our Nation's history without this bill. Adding the additional $984 billion over 10 years - and the untold trillions after it - is too much.
I beg and plead with you to not lay upon our shoulders this burden and to realize the true cost of this bill. There are ways for you to reform the system that will lesson costs, lesson the burden on the public, and help to cover the uninsured. I have written about it here and I invite you to read these ideas:
