Health Care Reform
I am opposed to health care reform as it has been defined and pushed through the Congress. 
I am opposed to a Federal mandate that requires citizens to purchase health care from the government or government appointed insurance companies.
I am opposed to the so called “public option”.
I am opposed to penalties that punish individuals if they do not buy government health care.
I am opposed to government funded or government subsidized abortion.
Health care decisions are best left in the hands of individuals, families and the communities in which they live.

Health care improvements can be made in today’s environment without disrupting the entire system and without ignoring the basic freedoms of our citizens. The current health care legislation (H.R. 3962) tramples underfoot our fundamental freedoms and is an example of how the Federal Government is over reaching and imposing heavy burdens on free citizens.
The central funding point of this bill is to extract money from those that have in order to give to those that have not. In this instance it is those with incomes of $500,000 per year. This is a violation of a core principle that we, the people, expect from the Federal Government – the protection of property. It encourages class warfare and is simply wrong.
The bill requires individuals to obtain insurance or pay a penalty of 2.5% of their income. This is coercion at its best. A monopolistic entity that says they are introducing competition into the market and then economically punishes you if you don’t “buy their product.” There isn’t another health care company in the country that can use this type of heavy handed tactic and get away with it. We should not allow the Federal Government to do it.
The bill is 2,000+ pages and claims that it will “simplify requirements” and “diminish administrative burdens” in today’s health care system. This is not realistic given that companies will need to change their administrative processes to comply with whatever new laws the bill imposes upon health care providers, employees and patients.
Although I share the view that health care is expensive and am frustrated by excessive rate increases, I believe we must protect our ability to choose how we use medical care for our families and loved ones. H.R. 3962 violates too many principles of individual freedom that should exist in a country whose citizens claim to be free. Health care decisions should remain first and foremost in the hands of those that are affected by those decisions – with the individual and the families and communities in which they live.
