An open letter: I oppose the president's healthcare reform

Dear Representative Grayson:

I strongly urge you to oppose the government take over of the health care industry. Rationing of health care, implementing euthanasia and denying services to the elderly are not acceptable. In addition, we should not add another two trillion dollars to our national debt which is already taking us toward financial chaos.

Frankly, government, from either side of the political spectrum, has proven that it cannot run healthcare programs, exhibit 1, Medicare, exhibit 2, Medicade.

Both of these programs are racing towards fiscal collapse, doctors are at best reticent to participate, patients are denied services by Medicare/Medicade in the name of saving costs while fraud is rampant, as much as 10% of program costs.

Why would Congress even think government could run a nationwide health program when it has shown that it cannot run these? Simply because Congress ignores the problems, keeps throwing money at it while clammoring for more power over the lives of American citizens.

It's time Congress woke up and realized that Representatives and Senators are not the sole embodiment of intellect and wisdom. Those attributes lie in the people. It is up to Congress to listen to the will of the people and if you are doing so, you must know the people are calling for an end to this insanity called "healthcare reform" and "spend more to avoid bankruptcy."

Intelligent people know both of those, as proposed by Congress and this Administration, are dead wrong. The polls prove that even average Americans know the direction Congress and this Administration are headed in down a path to destruction.

It's time for you to begin listening to your constituency, not simply giving lip service, and act in accordance with the wishes of your constituency.
Vote no on the health care legislation before this Congress. You voted wrong on "Cap and Trade," don't make the same mistake on healthcare.
