    Saving our Health Care System!!

    I've been a PT Assistant for 14 years, have a BS in Accounting and soon to have a Nursing Degree. I'm very concerned about the idea of a blanket universal health care and want to keep the same programs and improve those already in place...which has never happened. I'm concerned as a practitioner, as a son, as a citizen of this country. I've researched it and realize that Government run health care or even a "Public Option" (which will only lead to a blanket plan) has many undesirable problems and really doesn't give people "effective" access to health care. I am asking people to mail into their senators and congressmen regarding this. I have typed up a letter for you to print, sign, and mail in to them. Here are 2 websites for you to find out their address:

                                                                 http://www.senate.gov/general/contact_information/senators_cfm.cfm

    Do YOU value Your JOB as my representative?

     

    Then Say NO to:

     

    1) Competing Government Health Care or Public Option !


    2)  Socialized Medicine!

     

    And Say YES to:

     

    1)  Medical Tort Reform to stop frivolous lawsuits and maintain our current system!!!

     

    2) Requiring co-pays on all lawsuit patients to reduce the waste & return honesty to the system!!


    3)  Implement Hospital Pricing Transparency to create competition and reduce costs!

     

    4) Implement programs nationwide to promote health, reduce our Obesity rate (The highest in the world)!!

     

    Obesity has skyrocketed in this country and its killing us both physically and financially. Japan has one of the best health results while spending the least. They have one of the highest percentage of daily smokers and one of the lowest percentages of obesity! We are costing ourselves from eating fatty food and not exercising! We must reduce this first before we waste $trillions on our system. Its not our medical system but our society weight that is the big problem!


         We already have Medicare, Social Security and Medicaid! lets work within the programs we already have and make some reform there!!!




    Sincerely,
