Why are the Democrats attempting to rush this healthcare bill through? I think our President knows if it is delayed, it will be defeated. First, it isn't completely written, TBD isn't a good start in getting this positive support. Secondly, America cannot afford this ambitious restructuring of America's healthcare, also known as 20% of our economy! Our healthcare system has many issues, however, it is the best healthcare system in the world. Where would the Brits, Canadians and Saudi royalty go for healthcare? I read that that the Government would have to employ 100,000 new feds. I sit in DC traffic already, this would be unbearable. There are many reforms available to our lawmakers to fix the healthcare issues. Tort reform and stopping Medicare and Medicaid fraud and waste has been estimated be a half a trillion dollars. Medical professionals practice defensive medicine and some abuse the system. I don't believe the President when he said there are 46 million citizens without healthcare. Approximately 12 million are illegal aliens and millions are eligible for healthcare and choose not to purchase it. A lot of them earn $80,000 or more a year. I didn't have insurance when I was young, I didn't need it. Also, healthy private competition would reduce overall cost of insurance. I don't think the Government should be competing against private industry. Over the August recess, contact your Senate and Congressional members and voice your opinion on this very important issue. It could the most important bill debated this decade. Say "no" to Socialism.
Thanks
