If You Represent US, You Must Vote Against Self-styled Healthcare Reform.

This is written to 435 people in the two Houses of Congress called our Representatives.
“Represent” means to speak for or act in the best interest of. If you truly do that, you must vote against the HR (numbers change along with content and without notice) claiming to be healthcare reform. Here are five reasons.

You should not make sweeping changes in a system that affects absolutely everyone in the nation without having a consensus from us. We are divided: the town halls, the newspapers, and chatter on the social media prove that there is no agreement on what we want or need. So if you represent us, your vote should be deeply divided and the Bill should fail.

If you represent – “act in the best interest of” – us, you must have some evidence that your changes will work to make things better for us. Please produce the evidence, not logic, wishful thinking, or appeals to our emotions. Otherwise, do not vote for this Bill.

The definition of an honest leader is someone who does what he or she says, someone who “walks their own talk.” You say we have huge financial problems. You say that we need to increase jobs, reduce spending, and decrease the national debt. Are you “honest?” If so, you simply cannot vote for this Bill.

Escape clauses, exceptions and loopholes do not apply in healthcare. If they are in the Bill, we will know that you are representing your re-election campaign and not us.

The providers are uniformly (like the pun?) unhappy with the system you created. They are leaving healthcare in droves. Personnel shortages are critical and a major part of our healthcare crisis. Health insurance or not, there is no health CARE without providers. We need them. If the Bill you are considering does not make things easier for them and does not reward them, then you are not representing us.

Our nation needs an overhaul of the healthcare system. We need to start a process leading to fixing (curing) healthcare rather than taking blood out of this dying patient.

Are you our representative? If so, you will vote for what is right, not what your party wants or what is expedient. If you vote for this scam calling itself healthcare reform, we will know you do not represent us.
