My Letter to the Editor

Feel Free to Cut and Paste...

Dear Editor:

Just in case anybody is under the misapprehension that government healthcare will be good for him or for the country, allow me to point out just three facts that are generally accepted by many Democrats and the Congressional Budget Office:

1) Health care costs will skyrocket. Make no mistake, a government-run system will cost more than $1 trillion and Washington will have to keep raising taxes, rationing care, and limiting your choices in doctors and treatments to keep up.

2) Millions of jobs will be lost. A massive small business tax and crippling penalties will force small businesses to shed jobs or close their doors.

3) Millions of Americans will lose their current coverage. The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimates up to 20 million Americans would remain uninsured, even after spending more than $1 trillion.

Contact your representative, and tell him THIS is not the answer to our healthcare problems. And do it NOW. There’s not much time.

Of course...

If you want healthcare run like the Veteran’s Administration or the DMV;
If you want long delays, rationed care, limited options, fewer new drugs and innovative procedures;
If you want millions of small businesses hurt or ruined, and thus even more massive unemployment;
If you want government forced destruction of your current health insurance...

...don’t do anything at all.

Signed, etc. etc.
