It's time to repeal health care benefits for members of Congress. The insurance industry can't compete with the coverage provided by we taxpayers to Congress. It drives private insurers out. Not only that, but for the government to be in the business of providing health insurance to anyone smacks of socialism. Socialism is bad. It posits that what's best for people is more important than what's best for business. And we all know that such an attitude is Un-American.
We shouldn't be putting government between Congresspeople and their doctors. It's not the best way to expand coverage. We should keep government bureaucrats out of the medical decision-making process, and preserve the doctor-Congressperson relationship. We need private market reforms, with a public system at best only a safety net. Anything else is a government takeover. And once Congress understands the meaning of the public option for Congresspeople, the votes won't be there to keep it. So, we must abandon it.
I know this whole health care debate seems complicated. It's not. It's not about people being able to afford health care. That doesn't matter. It's about keeping the talking points simple. So simple that they can fit in simple sound bites. So simple that they can fit in simple internet links. Congress needs to understand. Their health care plan is wrong. On so many levels, and for so many straightforward reasons, their plan is wrong. It must be stopped. Call your Congresspeople and let them know. Stand up for private insurers! Stand up against socialism! End Congressional health care!
