Jeff Flake!!! Part Two

Dear Readers,

Remember when I thought Jeff Flake gave out really quiffert email responses? Well, Jeff Flake emailed me again with a better letter about health care. Here it is:

Dear Telemoonfa,

Thank you for contacting me about health care reform. The rising cost of healthcare is truly a major problem. As you know, over 45 million Americans are either unable to acquire health insurance on their own or simply choose not to have coverage.

The President has made health care reform one of his top priorities this year. As a result, Democrats in Congress have proposed legislation that will create a government-run health care system to compete with private insurers.

The Congressional Budget Office estimates that this will cost American taxpayers more than one trillion dollars over ten years. As a result, small businesses will bear a significant brunt of this cost, likely resulting in considerable job losses. Some estimate that current proposals pending before Congress will result in over one hundred million individuals losing their current insurance.

I believe that all Americans should have access to affordable healthcare, and that the federal government can achieve this by encouraging health insurance companies to offer a wide variety of plans that cover a wide variety of health conditions. The key to meaningful reform is not more government intervention, but rather allowing the free market to control costs and improve quality through choice and competition. I do not support a government-run health care system run by federal bureaucrats instead of physicians and patients.

Republican Members of Congress have introduced legislation that will allow individuals more flexibility and control over their health care by allowing the purchase of health insurance across state lines, expanding Health Savings Accounts, and providing tax credits for costs related to health care. I believe that Americans should have access to health care that will empower them to control their health care dollars, permit individual choice, and empower the free market.

Thank you again for contacting me. Please do not hesitate to do so again in the future. I also encourage you to visit my website, which may be found at http://flake.house.gov/.

Sincerely,
JEFF FLAKE Member of Congress

I just want to take this oppurtunity to say...

Kudos to you, Jeff Flake!

I think you're great, and I'm glad you represent me. And that's cool that you're vain and stuff. I'm vain too! You're still way better than a lot of other politicians out there.

Sincerely,
Telemoonfa
