Dear Readers,
I just wrote another letter to the President.
Watching over 20 hours of footage of CPAC this last Thursday, Friday and Saturday really motivated me to get more involved in politics. CPAC was amazing, I'll tell you what.
I'm not sure what I can do do cause conservative change I can believe in... I suppose I can start indoctrinating my drama students with conservative propaganda. Ha ha ha. I am actually thinking of doing some patriotic plays I found about the Founders and the American Revolution and the Boston Tea Party and Paul Revere's ride and stuff. Ha ha ha. That would be fun.
But I want to keep my job, so... maybe I won't do the plays... even though I'm in a conservative area... and I probably wouldn't get in trouble for it... in the area where I live and teach there are lots of Christians and people with horses around here (and everybody knows that having horses makes you more conservative).
Really, though, I want to join up with a local group of political activists and see what I can do to make this country better. But until I find a group I want to join, I'll write the President and my representatives and Senators and stuff.
Here's the letter:
Dear President Obama,
Please stop trying to pass health care reform.
It's a bad idea.
I have looked into the issues and feel that the health care reform you are advocating would be bad for the country. The health care reform you have in mind will most likely lead to a government takeover of health care and put a lot of private insurance companies out of business.
For an example of government-run health care, look at Britain. Health care in Britain is not as good as health care in America. One of the wonderful things about health care in America is that anybody can show up at an emergency room and receive treatment, even if they can't pay. Our country is very compassionate and wonderful when it comes to health care, if you ask me.
It doesn't sound like there's a health care crisis to me. Of course, our health care system could use some adjustments, but not the type of adjustments you and Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi have in mind.
I think you should either have Congress go back to the drawing board or just stop altogether and do more important things.
And since you represent me in this wonderful representative democracy of ours, I thought you would like to hear from me.
Thank you for your service to the country.
Sincerely,
Telemoonfa

" One of the wonderful things about health care in America is that anybody can show up at an emergency room and receive treatment, even if they can't pay. And if they can't pay, it does not affect the patient's credit"
REALLY? Are you crazy?!? I haven't had insurance in 8 years, and I am $3,000 in debt (not counting student loans) all but $100 of my debt is hospital bills, and they are the first things that pop up on my credit report when I apply for a loan or credit card. I have an excellent job, and I am reasonably responsible, but because I needed care I couldn't afford (and in one case could have died without)I can't own a home or buy a new car. I've tried to pay things off, but they just keep adding late fees and I can't catch up.
So, yeah, you're wrong. if you don't have insurance here, you're screwed.
oh, and go ahead and try to get insurance with a pre-existing condition, so you have hope of getting out of debt and fixing your credit.....better to just shoot yourself in the head and put yourself out of misery.
Woops. You're right. Someone told me some bad information, I guess.
I edited the post.
I would write the President another letter correcting my last letter, but seriously no one reads those things except for maybe the intern of an aide of an aide of an assistant of an assistant to Mr. Obama or maybe a computer that scans for words in letters and stuff, so I don't think I'll write another letter to Mr. Obama.
But seriously, I was wrong, and thanks for helping Telemoonfa Time become more accurate.
glad i could help. :)
TO S. $3,000 dollars for your health (maybe life) what a deal. I am sorry you did not have health insurance. May you someday be Healthy,debt free and happy. By the way how much did that tattoo cost ?
the tat was a gift. my best freind got it for me for my birthday.
3,000 is good for life, but had i insurance i would be in a much better place financially.
i could just quit my job providing service to the low income disabled people i work for and get a good job with benefits and let the disabled fend for themselves...i've thought of that. i know i have options. but making other peoples lives worse to make my own better would be selfish and contribute further to the problem.
My mom has a job as a teacher and she has full heath care coverage. Two years ago she found out she had cancer. Luckily she had insurance so some of the cost were covered. But, but not all of them were. She is still having to pay off thousands of dollars for various tests that weren't covered. I can't imagine how expensive it would be for someone without insurance.
