Editor, in response to your “As We See It (9 July2012)
Congress is
elected to serve the needs of the nation and its citizens. There is no mention, in the Constitution the
GOP and teavangelists claim to guard so fiercely, of Congress serving corporations
or political parties.
Congressman
Roe warns of a health care delivery system controlled by government
bureaucrats. He should be warning about
a delivery system controlled by insurance company bureaucrats who exist only to
delay and deny the medical care that the corporations’ customers have already
paid for in premiums.
If we are
honest with ourselves, we will admit that there is no free health care. We, all of us who can scrape up the cash, pay
premiums for health insurance in one form or another. I would much rather that my premiums be paid
to our government, for my care and that of other citizens, than to a
corporation that will then pay it in the form of a bonus to corporate
executives rather than use it to provide medical care for the people insured by
that corporation. Unlike many people, I’m
not so afraid that some of my tax payments may actually be used to benefit
those in worse financial status than me that I will believe the lies spread by
the GOP and teavangelists, and therefore vote against my own interests and
those of actual persons rather than corporate persons.
Congress, the
GOP”/teavangelists, will now demonstrate their incredible lack of concern for
the nation’s well being. By wasting yet
another day of time that might have been spent dealing with the off shoring of
jobs, the House will demonstrate their utter lack of concern for the
voters. By repeating a futile gesture,
the GOP/teavangelist will demonstrate again that they are willing to destroy
the nation’s economy and wreck the lives of countless Americans in yet another
gesture of their hatred of President Obama.
This Congress
is worthless. It has served as an
indicator of bigotry, hatred, and corruption.
It should abandon any more attempts to repeal the affordable health care
act. It should impeach the
GOP/teavangelist leaders who have made this House such a farce. No member of
the House who takes part in this chicanery deserves to be re-elected or paid
for his or her current Term of “service.”
