From the Palatine Tea Party…
(Palatine, Illinois) March 10, 2010 – We the People reject this government takeover of 1/6th of our United States economy to government run healthcare which Obama, Pelosi, and Reid are proposing. The government can not run anything successfully without running deficits. Saying the healthcare bill is deficit neutral is nonsense and the American people know it. Does Bean know the will of the people which live in her district and knows what is best for our families? If so, how was it measured and by whom?
If the United States government cannot deliver the H1N1 “swine flu” vaccine on time, how can they deliver the whole healthcare system? Where in our Constitution does it state that healthcare is a “right”? This Congress has overstepped its authority on the American people.
How will Bean Vote for The American Death Panel?
Socialized medicine does not work and ask the people of Canada or Great Britain about their medical coverage. Our overall medical quality will be destroyed with this government takeover. When the government gets involved any problem gets bigger. Just look at Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and the United States Post Office. Less government is the answer and not more. These negligent actions will bankrupt America and the Democrats know it!
We have heard numerous times if you like your medical coverage you can keep it. What if your doctor no longer wants you as a patient anymore? What if your employer drops the healthcare coverage it now provides?
If we are truly interested in reducing medical costs and increasing quality then anyone understanding free market principles knows you must increase competition. Competition will always increase quality while reducing the pricing model. Competition will always have an immediate impact in any industry. Current government policy reduces competition.
Is anyone talking about illegal aliens using the United States medical services at the cost to the United States taxpayer as a way to reduce medical costs?
Tort reform is another simple way to reduce medical costs on how much a doctor must pay for medical insurance. How can Melissa Bean vote for any Tort reform when Lawyers and Law Firms are her 3rd largest campaign contributor. They contributed $175,135* from 2007-2008 and $69,150* from 2009-2010.
