Government run health care

From a letter sent June 11, 2009.

To Congress,

Expanding government run health care plans is a terrible idea. The government plans we already have offer inferior care and are inefficiently run. I do not object to helping legal residents of this country who can not afford health care insurance - within private plans. However a massive, all inclusive government run program will destroy the private health care system. They can not long compete with a government supplemented plan.

Congress wants to tax undesired behavior - obtaining health insurance at work. The president says that businesses could use the money they save by not offering a health care plan in a better manner; so, businesses will be encouraged not to offer health care. Eventually everyone will be forced into the massive, inferior, rationed government health care plan. This is about power and control and is a really bad, bad deal for the American public. It puts government in control of our "unalienable right" to life, since government would control our right to life saving treatment.

Signed,
The Electorate
