Sir;...Your story is the usual one: If you buy the predicate, you will buy the lie that follows...If I were inclined to believe that the democrats care more about establishing government control over our lives than anyone else, well, then I would be stupid or demented...Government should govern, but majority rule means each party of liars must jocky for some advantage to justify their power, their abuse, and their failures...From my perspective not one party or the other has any right to complain, or to brag... Each has failed and misled this people, in part because the consensus of the people was never required, and so the people were never educated, and never consulted... They were told what they wanted, and given or denied as suited the rich and the powerful... Well; what do we do now??? Now that we cannot afford for profit health care; what will we do???... Could it get worse??? Now; the old surrender the capital of a life time to have a moment more of life... Now; the young, the pregnant and the distant suffer the want of medicine that often robs them of youth, strength, health, and life... What would change if we had universal insurance??? We would first be healthier because the government would not support ill health on both ends, giving tax breaks to those who poison us, and rob us of health, and then paying for our treatment...The cost would not change at all, but the health of the nation would not be used to break the poor, the old, and the government... Some body pays... If the bills are not paid, the hospitals will fold up, and people will die...When some one goes to hospital sick and poor, the bill is paid by those with insurance who can no longer afford the cost, and as more and more people lose insurance, the price goes higher and higher for those with insurance... It was not so long ago that auto plants were moving to Canada simply because universal coverage made their cost of insurance, and doing business in general that much lower... The bill gets paid, but if the rich have been made super rich because they could avoid paying for insurance, then that should end... Is that not your true fear???Isn't that the terror for all rich people, that the government should govern, and take its support from those who can afford to pay it since the rich have taken their wealth from the whole nation??? The poor are sorely taxed, and the government is ruined to take care of all those made worthless and idle in the name of profit... The government is broke to maintain a huge military presence in the world where our rich have made us many enemies... The rich absolutely refuse to pay their share, and so they have abrogated their right to the protection of the government... The government should tax them since they will not voluntarily give the people justice... And that is the bottom line...That is the question here: Whether government has the ability to achieve the good goals, clearly stated, that it has set for itself in the constitution, or whether it will languish and linger on, being a nuisance and an impediment to the people in reaching justice... My bet is on the latter... You advocate for do nothing government... Have we not had enough of that??? And will we not have far more??? .. Thanks...Sweeney
