Great input and aptly put. I will forward your email to my friends and hope that we can "change" the direction of the president.
Rgds...
Government doing something right is a total oxymoron.
MY other serious concern is the Waxman Cap and trade Bill.
This government is out of control the lunatics ae running the asylum into the ground
Whats this with ABC??
Maybe in 3.5 years you can do more (Run for President)
I now read "The Roll call" to see how some of our so called employees are voting.
It looks like most of them are more interested in lining their pockets then taking care of this country
Take care
Jeff Flake for president.
Quick question. Do you have a government run health plan. If so, why can't we? This is the eternal question on Health Care.
Sincerely,
Michael Steitzer
Yes, health care needs to be FIXED not another expensive unaffordable band aid .
Whatever happens we cannot let it become an entity unto itself. We must protect the holistic doctors and clinics who don't utilize the horrific big drug manufactures.
I appreciate your stance on obama's Socialized Medicine plan. I belong to a group called "Air Force/Together We Served". Just about everyone on the site, all current or former Air Force members, are extremely concerned with the direction this Administration is taking our country. Socialized medicine is just the latest in a long line of the abuses of Presidential power and ignoring the Constitution that the current resident of the White House has perpetrated.
We would really appreciate your strongest possible efforts, which I'm sure you'll put forth, to defeat this legislation. Although the other party has been able to push through other legislation that is detrimental to this Nation It is my sincere hope that the Republican Party will, if necessary, hold Congressional classes on the Constitution. There are many things going on in the Government now that have no Constitutional basis and it is well past time for our Legislators to return to that Great Document for governing our nation.
It is past time for this country to return to Her roots and become a Constitutional Republic again. One of the first things to do will be to stop this so-called "Universal health" program that is being pished from the highest office in the land.

We have to do something...this is my suggestion!

in their education? if there were more doctors, there would be better care and
less need for doctors to "earn down" huge bills for their education.
it would help by providing doctors to less advantaged people, they would be paying
back the government for their advancement in the medical world.
In fact, I find it arrogant that the government feels that they have more ability than I do to manage my life in so many ways. They have my money, my assets and now my health????
The government is self serving and becoming moreso all the time. We need to stop this runaway train.......
STOP the insanity I pray more Congress men /women would actually pay attention and do what is morally right . Thank God for J. Flake, M. Bachman, S. King, V. Foxx, there are few others but very feww. They are the ones that need our support.
We have been avoiding tort reform and I don't understand why. We are chasing our tails with nuisance lawsuits and the ever costly malpractice. Consequently we will forever be paying higher premiums to offset the cost.
Before we delve into how to change the healthcare system, we have to understand how it go there. Instead of putting a massive government bandage on it, look into:
How did healthcare get so expensive
What laws have we made that have tied the hands of our hospitals and healthcare givers that have added to the expense
Why are politicians so reluctant to address tort reform??
To me it's just the Federal Government trying to reach into our pockets once again!!
I am a proponent of Direct Access Testing. As an Arizonan such services are available through Bashas Healthstyle programs. A rundown of the pros and cons of DAT is available at the following:
http://www.ascls.org/position/DAT.asp
At the time of this writing 2004, Arizona did not allow DAT but fortunately AZ legislators came to their senses shortly thereafter. DAT is one method for reducing costs.
We have used the service since Basha's started making it available. We have a 4-year history that we maintain. We can see where we have made progress or not. We try to stay away from medial providers who insist on duplicating these tests. Even though I am on Medicare, I am comfortable with paying for this very reasonably priced service with my own funds. It is worth it for the privacy and convenience. (I mention Bashas grocery chain because as an Arizonan you are probably familiar with the name.)
I read the article in WSJ and agree. In addition to the above, I can list multiple ways that costs could be reduced and BETTER services could be provided if only people were better educated about their health and more responsible. HSA's are a step in the right direction. Employers are better served if they provide wellness and prevention programs rather than blanket coverage.
Many doctors in northern Arizona will not take Medicare patients, so government management of the seniors' healthcare systems has already limited their choices. One can imagine what it will be like when the whole system performs like Medicare. But then imagination is not required; plenty of horror stories abound regarding healthcare in the EU and Canada.
Liberals always complain about GOP and their link to big business and legislation for personal gain, but this Cap and Trade will benefit all who invest in alternate energy, which Pelosi is one of many Democrats/Liberals who has invested heavily in this sector.
Please Congressman, watch out for us! Not only with health care but also is all areas!
I'm in Mobile, AL at the National Junior Miss Scholarship competition, where my daughter, Alexis is competing as Arizona's Junior Miss. I’ve let my daughter down enough over the years. I just couldn’t do it again last night. She had a tough night. I’m glad I was there with her.
I'm sorry to have let you down.
Jeff
I believe in God first, family second, and career/politics third...so I understand your dilemna. When keep our priorities straight, things work out for the best.
You are right, the vote is close enough, that if by some fluke it ends up back in the House, it can be killed!
Americans are already carrying an onerous tax load, with federal, state and local taxes eating up more than half of our income. Ever increasing taxes will not produce a watt of energy, jobs, or better health.
People are exhorted now to pay down debt and get their financial houses in order-what about the government? It's about time Congress listened to its own advice!
I'm a senior citizen, and I've paid, and am paying for my health care insurance, call-ed Medicare. That is not an entitlement, I paid for it when I worked, and still, after
I retired. There are a lot better ways to implement coverage, w/o going to the expense that Mr. Obama wants. Do what you can to nix this ever whichway you
can. More liberties lost.
