Reid and His Bill Increasingly Out of Touch With Public

[Guest guest]

Yesterday,

the Senate began debate on the 2,074 page Reid health care bill. It will cost

taxpayers a staggering $848 billion while leaving 24 million Americans

uninsured and increase premiums by 10-13%, according to the new CBO

estimate.

 

The Reid bill fails to control costs and risks quality for the health care of

many Americans. Poll after poll show Americans oppose Reid's idea of reform. A

new Gallup poll

found that independent voters oppose passage by a 53% to 37% margin while

support among both Republican and Democrat voters has declined

significantly.

 

Despite public opinion, Leader Reid refuses to slow down and listen. He is

determined to ram his bill through the Senate. To stop him we must raise the

same amount of noise as we did during the August town halls.

 

Call your Senator today and let

him know you oppose the Reid bill, H.R. 3590. America can't afford these massive

tax hikes and government-run health care.

 

In a desperate act by the Administration, they trotted out " the White House's favorite

economist " to claim that not only will Americans

experience better coverage under the Reid plan, but they will also pay less for

it. We would all like for this to be true but both

of these statements belie reality. Only by discounting the $848 billion of

taxpayer subsidies can you conclude that some people will pay lower premiums.

And with roughly $464 billion of cuts to Medicare, care will be rationed for

seniors and lower-income individuals relying on government-run insurance. No

amount of gimmicks and accounting tricks can hide the true cost of this

bill.

 

Please join us in the fight to stop the Washington

takeover of health care by calling your Senator today. Americans deserve reform

that lowers cost through the sale of insurance across state lines, reforms

medical malpractice liability and keeps the government out of your doctor's

office.

 

Leader Reid and his fellow Democrats are out of touch with what Americans want

and we need to make sure they know there will be a price for casting the wrong

vote. The most important vote is approaching soon.

 

Sincerely,

 

Patients First Team

 

P.S. Call
