Almost 70 percent of Americans do not support the health-care bill that is currently being negotiated by both houses of Congress.
To this date, there are 59 senators and 220 House representatives who are disregarding the will of the American people by seeking to push the bill into federal law before we the people can prevent them.
Americans do not support the health- care bill for a number of reasons, the most prominent ones being the threat to our liberty and our lawmakers’ attack on our constitutionally federated republic, as well as the fear that U.S. government intervention in the insurance industry will render the same disastrous results as nationalized health care has in other nations. Many of us are outraged that the U.S. government is seeking to violate the Constitution and destroy our inalienable rights without regard to our protests.
For my frustrated fellow-citizens who, like me, feel betrayed by lawmakers who are not living up to their promises to uphold the Constitution and act on the will of the people, I have two suggestions:
1) Continually contact your U.S. senators and House representatives and demand that they drop the unconstitutional health-care bill. Sure, they may not listen to you upfront; but they are still keeping track of all the letters and calls they receive from disapproving constituents.
2) Vote all the lawmakers who support the usurpation of our rights out of office when their turn comes for re-election. Vote for a candidate who is willing to defend our liberty and our Constitution – not for a candidate who seeks office only to gain political power.
The more of us who take action, the better it is for our cause. After all, the final version of the health-care bill has not yet been passed – it may still be stopped. It is my opinion that millions of uninsured Americans will be more able to find quality healthcare if the government distances itself from the insurance industry. If, for example, the government introduces tort reform, removes federal regulation of the insurance industry and permits portability of insurance across state lines, Americans will quickly find a vast improvement in both healthcare and the ability to find a quality insurance plan at an affordable rate. You may want to include this suggestion in your letter or phone call to your lawmakers.
