We Can Defeat the Health Care Bill

Congress is on recess; its members are heading home. Now is the time to hit them hard on H.R. 3200 - "America's Affordable Health Choices Act of 2009". Find your local congressional representative here. Then call them. Then tell your friends, family, and like minded fellow citizens to call them. And urge them to oppose H.R. 3200 because:

1) You value your privacy. Government involvement in your private health care matters is unacceptable. Government bureaucrats having access to your private health information is as objectionable as the government listening in to your private telephone conversations;

2) The "public option" is no option at all - it is a stop on the road to government-run single payer health care. No private health insurer can compete with the public option. The statement that "you can keep your health insurance if you are happy with it" is a lie because you insurer will eventually be unable to compete with the public plan and the public plan will be the only plan left;

3) As revealed by the Congressional Budget Office, H.R. 3200 will cost way more than we can afford now or ever. A severe recession is not the time to blow our budget and further increase the skyrocketing federal budget deficit;

4) A bill with this kind of enormous cost can only lead to enormous tax increases down the road;

5) And, finally, this bill will destroy small business in America by increasing their tax burden to such a degree that they must cut costs by laying off or refusing to hire workers which would only prolong and perhaps make permanent our current recessionary problems.
