FlakeDirect: Jeff Opposing President Obama's Health Care Plan

  • bennywhite · 4 months ago
    Jeff,

    Keep up the good work. I always appreciate it when a member of Congress can speak without "nuance."

    I think the American people are objecting to the health care proposals of the President and Democrats because they don't want that much government involvement in their lives.

    You are right to focus on the fraud, waste and abuse issue in Medicare and Medicaid, and in veteran's health care. If the President and Democrat members in control of the various committees know how to eliminate those needless costs and waste, they should demonstrate that to the American people before they destroy the greatest health care system the world has ever known.

    Congressman Flake, you are correct in doing all you can do to prevent government from overhauling our healthcare system, especially the efforts (almost covert in nature) to force every American onto the proposed system. Socialism in any form is not what America needs, nor wants. I do, however, seriously disagree with your views on Cuba, given the very recent comments by Fidel's brother who seems to be running the show in that Communist country, now. And, should you continue to shun your responsibilities to protect our borders and remove those who have entered illegally, I suspect you will see an even greater erosion of your support base among fellow Republicans.

    SOUNDS GOOD. ANYTHING WILL BE BETTER THEN THE SOCIALIST PROGRAMS OBAMA HAS CONGERED UP. WE SHOULD REALLY LEAVE THE CURRENT PROGRAM ALONE. IF IT MUST BE THEN DESIGN A PROGRAM FOR ALL THE ILLEGAL'S ALONE. BUT, BETTER YET:JUST SEND ALL OF THEM HOME.IF THEY DO NOT WANT TO BECOME U.S. CITIZEN'S,! THEN THEY SHOULD NOT BE ENTITLED TO ANY FREE HEALTH CARE OR ANY OTHER ASSISTANCE. ALSO ALL POLITICAN'S SHOULD BE IN THE SAME SYSTEM AS ALL OTHER U.S. CITIZEN'S ARE. THEN WE WOULD BE IN THE SAME DELIMA.! ANYONE WHO COMPLAINS ABOUT OUR FLAG:RELIGION:OUR CUSTOMS:GO HOME. A VOICE OF A FEW,SEEM TO HAVE THE SAY.? WHAT HAPPENED TO THE FREEDOM OF BEING A U.S. CITIZEN. WE HAVE BECOME THE MINORITY. WITH NO RIGHTS OR SAY IN WHERE OUR COUNTRY IS GOING.
