How can you continue to support "any healthcare, at any cost" just for the sake of passing something. Doesn't our opinion count? Do you honestly believe that you people back there are the only ones that know what this bill contains? We have read this bill.
May I suggest that for starters you strip this bill of every "deal"; and you know exactly what I am referring to, and use that as the new starting point. No you say, we have come too far and are too close to turn back now. Or possibly you are in the corner of those who say turning back now will signal to the other side that we have lost. Maybe so, but the only side that matters is the American people, not the other side of the aisle. Put forth a proposal that is void of favoritism and I can almost guarantee that it will prevail. Isn't it better to have something that the majority of the people support?
You continue to champion the cause that there are 30 million people out there that need healthcare and I agree. But certainly not at the expense of the other 275 million, and certainly not at the expense of tearing our country apart. We are not against healthcare, but, we are against this "bill" and all of the debt it creates. I think that what rankles us the most is all of the sweetheart deals attached to it. What happened to the transparency that all of you championed as the new beginning?
Or maybe you just don't get the message. You buy into the "if we don't do it now, it will never get done" line from the administration. You cannot allow yourself to join the "strike now while the iron is hot" syndrome that supports the cram down philosophy created with majorities in both the Senate and the House. Working from the "bully's pulpit" will lead us nowhere.
And, another thing. Don't allow yourself to buy into the "it's only $10 billion philosophy" which supports the proposition that $10 billion is nothing when compared to the trillion you are proposing. All of a sudden you are all jumping on the Obama bandwagon that $10 billion is a mere speck on the globe when referencing any deal for the sake of passing this bill. Well let me tell you something you already know; $10 billion multiplied by as many times as I have heard the expression used, adds up pretty fast. You obviously heard the adage that American Airlines was able to pare $3 million annually and they did it $25 at a time. Well, why don't you see how you can pare $500 billion, $25 million at a time.
Why do you have to wait until November to get the message on how we feel about this legislation? Or, is it because you buy into the theory that if you “do it now”, we will forget it by November; don’t think so.
