Dear Senator:
Your recent vote on the healthcare bill will go down in history. In fact, all sixty of you will go down in historical fashion. You will lose re‐election bids. You will become the scourge of freedom loving Americans across the nation. In the long‐run, history will anoint you as villains that attempted to sack free enterprise in America and doomed your own constituents to substandard healthcare at premium cost. All under the guise of putting a few people that do not have coverage on insurance, you have created an untenable entitlement. It will do the precise opposite of what you have projected. Costs will increase. People will not be covered. Many will opt‐out and drop out by choice in protest. Refuseniks. The extent of your damage remains to be seen, but damage it will be. Look at just a few examples of big government largesse in America.
In the beginning, Social Security was supposed to provide an incentive for older persons to retire to accommodate an underemployed workforce in the face of the Great Depression. It was never meant to be an identification process, and in fact, that aspect was much debated. Look at what it has become and how expensive it is now. There is no real \”fund\” you continue to lie about that fact too. Those funds hit the general account and are gone. What percentage of our annual budget is Social Security now compared to what the projections were back in the 30’s, 50’s 70’s?
Medicare has similar history. It has expanded and become so badly operated that it will be bankrupt
