I sent this email to my Congressmen (Hodes) and my state's Democrat Senator (Shaheen):
The CBO says it will save $100 Billion dollars because the Government will have collected
10 years worth of tax for only 6 years worth of services. And since when has a Government program ever functioned within budget anyway? NEVER! Everything the Government touches becomes rife with fraud, abuse, corruption and massive waste.
Private Insurace companies cannot compete with a Public Option, they will be
destroyed by a Public Option. Why? Because
A. The Government doesn't need to make a profit, so there is no containment of cost or a strive for efficiency.
B. Private insurance, if they do not function within budget, cannot print their own money, tax citizens or borrow money from foreign Governments to make up for their losses....the Government
can and
will.
How does cutting Medicare by almost $500 Billion help stregnthen the Medicare system?
I agree the Health Care system needs reform, but this bill is not the answer. Free market solutions, where there's competition on a level playing field and incentive for profit through quality care and customer service, are the answer. TORT Reform is imperative to drive down the cost of Physician's Liability insurance cost. That cost gets passed down to consumers, driving up the cost of care across the board.
The American public is not stupid, we know what this bill is - a Liberal Democrat power and money grab and a payoff to the Lawyer Lobby - THAT is why there is no TORT reform in the bill. This Bill is a new revenue stream for the Government and a means to control the lives of the public by controlling, in fact, their very lives - to make people reliant on Government
instead of themselves.
Do what's good for the Country, not what's good for Lawyer's and Union's. VOTE AGAINST THIS BILL.
