Healthcare Petition

Hi all,

I usually don't get involved in political discussions because I feel everyone has their own views and I am not the controversial type but...I feel this is a really important matter that is vital to our future health benefits. I feel that the health plan that Pres. Obama and "friends" are trying to push through congress is detrimental to our future. After talking to people in Canada and other countries that practice socialized medicine, this is not what we want in our country. I am sure if our politicians would put their heads together they could come up with a better plan that does not lessen the choices or the caliber of treatment that we currently have. They can preserve and even improve upon our current healthcare system without allowing the government to get involved and telling us who we can go to and what we can afford. Citizens from other countries come to the United States to get the health care they need because the wait time for certain treatments are so long that they may not catch the disease or illness soon enough to prevent further problems. This is not the American way... I don't know about you, but I don' t want my next doctor visit to have the efficiency of the Post Office and the bedside manner of the IRS!

Please join me in signing this petition and let our politicians know that we don't agree with this health plan. I have included below a link to the petition from Congressman Bob Bennett's website. (btw: we are not related)

Thank you so much,
Angela

Here is some info from Bob Bennett's website:

For years now I have worked with my senate colleagues to create the Healthy Americans Act, a healthcare plan that would provide every American with affordable, private health insurance. Unfortunately, the Obama administration is wary of free market solutions and sees government intervention as the only answer.
President Obama is demanding that any efforts put forth by Congress include a so-called "public option" to compete with private insurers. Once the government gets involved, it won't be long before the private insurance industry is out of business, and the public option becomes the only option.
Indeed, the public option is nothing more than a back door to single-payer, socialized care, and it's for that reason that I stand alongside my fellow conservatives in opposition to it. Please help me send a message to the Obama administration on this issue by signing this petition. We have set a goal of collecting 10,000 signatures, so please sign the petition telling the Obama administration that our country does not want or need a single-payer, government-run healthcare system. When you are finished, I hope you will forward this petition to your friends, neighbors and family members asking them to join the fight.

Thank you for joining me,
Bob
