Health Care Reform Deals

I sent the following letter to my senators to get some clarification on the deals made with Ben Nelson and others to get them to vote for the Senate Health Care Bill.

As always feel free to us all or any of the letter in contacting your own representatives.

A little truth will go a long way.

Its Common Sense!

Dear Senator

In your defense of the Health Care Bill you promised that it would be good for all Americans, get just about everyone insured, lower health care premiums and within ten years help lower the deficit.

Sounds good. But then I hear about the deals. Like that Senator Ben Nelson of Nebraska only agreed to vote in favor of the bill if the Federal Government would pick up the bill for Nebraska's Medicaid for the rest of my life time.
Special deals for Louisiana, Massachusetts and maybe a couple of other states.

Did the citizens Maryland get a deal, or are we expected to pay so the Democrats can present a false united front? How will these deals save me money? Will premiums really go down? Finally, what taxes will be raised to pay for all of this?
Its time for some honesty. What is the truth about the Health Care Bill? Will it perform as promised or is it all smoke and mirrors?

From the recent news that some of your fellow Democrats will not be running for another term, it is evident that the frustration of the public is finally getting through.

If the Democrats want to keep Congress and the White House, then its time to come clean and give the people the truth.

How bad are things?
What has to be done to save our country?
How much is it going to cost?
Where is the money going to come from?

Candidate Obama and the Democrats promised many things. For the first time since I began voting in 1972 I voted for the Democrat instead of the independent. He promised to close Gitmo - that's on hold, he promised to get us out of Iraq - we're still there and we increased our presence in Afghanistan, he promised a Health Care Reform that would insure at least 95% of all Americans - does not look like that's going to happen.

The President and his Democratic Congress have not delivered.
Why not?

Share the truth and explain what went wrong.

Thank you.
