Health Care Bills are Travesties

The House and Senate health care bills are simply a redistribution of health care. The 85% of Americans who now have health care insurance will receive a lower quality of health care and will be forced to pay more for that health care. About half of those who do not have health care will receive mediocre health care. Approximately thirty million people will still not have health care coverage.

The purpose of health care reform was to provide high quality, lower costing health care to all. Instead, this country will spend trillions of dollars, which we do not have and can not afford, to reduce the quality of health care. We must also pay more for the privilege of receiving this inferior health care. We must submit to massive government controls and regulation of our health care. Why are those in Washington surprised that we think this is a really bad deal? Why can Washington not recognize that we do not want their health care bills? The American public is not stupid.

Neither the House’s health care bill nor the Senate’s health care bill deserves a single vote. They are travesties. They are massive spending and taxing bills. They gut Medicare. They will bankrupt this country.

I hope both Florida senators vote “No” on the Senate bill. If there is a joint bill I hope all three of my legislators vote against it. Do not force this monstrosity on your constituents and this country.
