An Open Letter to Congress:

House Leader John Boehner January 4, 2011


Dear Congressman Boehner:



I strongly urge you to work toward the immediate repeal of the national health care bill, H.R. 3962, the Affordable Health Care for America Act.

We need to return to our previous excellent health care system and enact incremental steps necessary to improve it as required. Addressing the problem areas while keeping the excellence of the American healthcare system should have been the path taken. We need to immediately address this the right way.

It is critical that this healthcare bill be repealed as soon as possible. It is a far reaching cancer that will help to destroy our economy, our freedoms, and the health and well being of all Americans.

Why do we allow that congress have a separate health care and retirement than the american population they represent. This seems completely unfair and makes their voting on these issues seem ridiculous at best. Does anyone else see it the same. When did our government representatives become the elite class. They use our money to provide themselves with better benefits than us and let us eat cake.

I do not know why we can't use the $52 billion we spend on foreign aid and the $150 billion we spend on Iraq and afghanistan every year and pay for health care for americans.

Mr. Cantor my advice to you is this. You should be very careful how you approach this matter that you are about to embark on. If I were you I would pray and think very hard and long about how and what I confronted the President on about His Health Care Plan. Please listen. A word to the wise is sufficient. I'm ole school and I try and not use useless words. So if I were you young man I would take heed and pray before I opened my mouth. Especially against this Health Care Plan. I wouldn't want you to cause yourself to make shipwreck by not thinking before you speak.

I have been an against obamacare since it inception, both for national financial reasons and the growth in governmant control, however the Republicans must remember that it came about because the country had real issues with thre current healthcare system, and must address the more uregent of these issues other wise it will not be defeated or only temporally delayed.

It amazes me that some posts here are criticizing Obamacare and then in the same breath are worrying about their benefits being changed on Medicare! Are you people for real?? You think republicans will let Medicare stay? It will be the first to go!!! I just cant believe in the 21 st century that 50% of Ameircans are just total idiots!!

Shame on the Republicans for wasting America's time and money. There is so very much they could be doing constructively and they choose this sure-to-fail, regressive, anti-American, grandstanding political ploy.

And it surprises anyone that parts of the healthcare bill are being struck down by the courts??? Not to put too fine a point on this, the "activist" courts are there for a reason. It wasn't that many years ago the supreme court struck down the "line item veto." Congress didn't write the healthcare bill, corporate america did. Money talks...
