Dear Senator/Congressman _________,
President Obama has often cited the (dubious) number of 46 million Americans without health INSURANCE as his justification for completely revamping America’s healthcare system. Of that 46 million figure cited, approximately half are believed to be people who voluntarily choose not to BUY health insurance. When I was younger, I also voluntarily opted NOT to BUY health INSURANCE!!
So, my question to you is this: In a country of over 300 million Americans, why does the Congress feel the need to completely disrupt the health care system as it currently exists, because an estimated 46 million people cannot or will not BUY health insurance? Why is the president and the Congress discussing an overpriced, “one-size-fits-all” plan that affects ALL Americans in order to accommodate a handful of Americans??
I look forward to your reply.
