Dear Congresswoman,

Although I’m not in your district, you seem to be a woman of integrity and I do not need this letter not to land on deaf ears, especially the part where we have some very easy answers to lowering the cost of healthcare. The entire constitution is less than 20 pages, yet we have bills being presented over 1000 pages. No corruption there?

People often would ask my son how he graduated with a physics degree, stayed on the Deans’ list all 8 semesters and finely graduating with honors. His answer was whenever your solving a problem you need to break it down to little blocks, each one being however small it needs to be so you can understand it. His answer is true for healthcare also; if you’re trying to solve a physic’s problem or more ridicules all healthcare problems in one shot, it is sure to fail.   

Note: The healthcare (HC) debate shouldn’t focus just on what we do not like about the democratic versions, but have answers for the real problems; High cost of premiums and preexisting conditions are the two biggies. The high cost of premiums has some real easy fixes and should be able to be written in a few pages not 1100; (1) Do not allow any taxing of health care. I live in NY and our State Government says there looking for ways to lower HC, but taxes it 20%, that cost just gets handed down to the consumer, it always does. (2) Real tort reform, the money these doctors spend in malpractice insurance and lawyers is ridicules’, sure they need to be able to be sued for wrong doing, but there needs to be caps and away to stop the frivolous law suits (My understanding is that Doctors win 90% of the time). (3) Create real competition, by allowing us to buy a plan that fits our needs as consumers across state lines. That’s access to hundreds of HC insurance companies, that’s real competition. The government option is not competition; They’re not going to pay the taxes, they’re going to be run on taxes. They don’t have to show a profit, and the Presidents idea that you’re going to run a HC system with the savings of corruption from another government HC system-Medicaid is ridiculous.

That is the whole problem with Washington it is corrupt and needs term limits to stop the special interest groups from gaining close relationships with our politicians on either side.

God Bless Bernie & Deb DeGiule!!!!!!
