What really gets me with Congress is that we, American Citizens, pay their salary and their benefits - they pay nothing into Medicare. Congress gets a list of Insurance Companies to pick and chose and they own their own insurance policy! Before I becames disabled, I worked and had to take anything that my employer chose PLUS pay 1/2 for a crappy policy. I couldn't even take the insurance company to court if any of the ERSIA rules weren't followed BECAUSE I didn't own the insurance policy - the company did!
ONCE again, Congress screwed every American citizen that works for a company with the ERSIA laws! I'd like to have Congress pass a law that puts the laws into PLAIN English and then we, the American Citizens, go and VOTE on laws directly - no middle blundering, lobby paid for Congressman! When Congress was set-up, there was no internet - we all could VOTE at anytime! Skip the voting in Congress - just have them there for bills and admendments that are submitted by American Citizens! Then, we the people actually vote for what we want or don't want! No more pay raises for Congress and limited benefits - just like a common American Citizen! I do hope you write your Congress persons - Representative and Senators - for Health Reform - REAL Health Reform for each and every American Citizen!

I wrote the following to the Editor of my newspaper and I am sending letters to ALL members of the Senate Finance Committee (each and everyone of them should be strunk up by an antomy between the waist and knees)! I beg you all for the sake of you and your families do PLEASE WRITE YOUR EDITORS AND SENATORS AND THE FINANCE COMMITTE! I wrote: The Senate Finance Committee just finished their mark up with NO Public Option NOR a FEDERAL INSURANCE EXCHANGE choice! Either or BOTH would hold Insurance companies Accountable for coverage and hold down cost! The Finance Committee is going to penalize each and every American citizen if they don't buy coverage! BUT WE THE PEOPLE WILL HAVE NO CHOICE, NO SAY - all WE HAVE TO DO IS PAY financially and with our bodies and soles! THE AMERICAN CITIZEN IS BEING HELT HOSTAGE BY CONGRESS AND THE INSURANCE COMPANIES! The Finance Committee just put each and every common American Citizen in shackles and handed the keys over to the Insurance Companies! I thought Health Reform was to help ALL American Citizens. Health Reform, per the Finance Committee Bill, only pushes the American Citizen further down and gives FREE money and MORE control to the Insurance Companies! We need TRUE Health Reform - Choice across the nation, price controls, no preexisting conditions, no dropping or weaken coverage when you get sick, No caps on the amount of coverage received in any year or lifetime. If penalties are enforced ,then we, the common AMERICAN citizen, should have the right for choice! We need TRUE Health Reform across the board for EACH and EVERY American Citizen - NOT JUST THE CONGRESS! Benefits for EVERY and ALL American Citizens - NOT JUST THE CONGRESS! Life is short! Break the rules! Forgive quickly! Kiss slowly! Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably . And never regret anything that made you smile. Prayers and thoughts for you and yours, Candy K.
