Dear Readers,
Remember when I wrote President Obama another letter? Well, he wrote me back! Here it is, with my comments in red:
Dear Friend: [Mr. Obama called me a friend! I wonder if he would still call me that if he knew me or read this blog.]
Thank you for writing. [You're welcome] I have heard from countless
Americans struggling to afford health insurance, [Did you have to say, "struggling"? Couldn't you have used a more neutral word, like, "trying"? You're trying to pull at my heart-strings by using words like "struggling". You tell stories all the time of poor people who lose their jobs and lose their health insurance and have to be taken care of by the paternal government. Hmmm... Barack Obama likes to use the word struggle... and Mein Kampf means struggle... is that just a coincidence?] as well as health
professionals striving to provide care, and I appreciate your
perspective.
I recently released my proposal to reform our health
insurance system. To learn more about this plan, [aka to hear more of me talking and less of your own brain talking] please visit:
www.whitehouse.gov/health-care-meeting
and
www.healthreform.gov
Reform must provide more security and stability to those
who have health insurance; give those without insurance affordable
options; and lower the cost of health care for our families, our
businesses, and our government. [That sounds great. If that's what was really in the over 2000 pages of bill, I might be for it. But I think the health care reform you are shooting for will actually increase the cost of health care for families, businesses, and government. Lots of other people, smart economists among them, share my opinion.]
I share the sense of urgency that many Americans have
voiced to improve health care in our country. Together, we will fix
it. [As my Daddy used to say, don't fix it if it ain't broke. But you say our health care system is broke. I've noticed that you spend a lot of time trying to convince people that there is a crisis of one kind or another. You talk about the economic crisis all the time, and you talk about the health care crisis all the time, and you talk about the global warming crisis all the time, and you use those "crises" as justification for enacting your liberal policies, and I don't like it.]
Sincerely,
Barack Obama

kekeke. I like your comments. You should write him another letter. Cuz I like reading the resonses you get.
I plan on it!
just because maybe you don't 'struggle' to provide health care for your family doesn't mean that there aren't plenty of americans who do. i work in health care. ever see a sick old person get sent back to their pathetic nursing home to die because their health coverage doesn't cover the drugs they need to survive (or at least die a more painless death)?
i watched a woman bleed out on her bathroom floor because her medicare only covered 3 nights hospital stay and wouldn't approve hospice.
the system is broke, and you are supporting killing off the poor just because you aren't one of them and you're to cheap to want to help.
sometimes you make me sick.
TO s. Medicare is government health care. Some people think government should provide all health care, "free". My experience with government is it is inefficient,wasteful, ( it to easy to spend other peoples money) and bureaucratic. Big government can not end pain, suffering or death or struggles.
