Try reading these instead of health bill

Before you say that you want government run health care, please have a look at the thousand-plus pages of what our elected representatives are considering in the House and Senate. It is like trying to read the tax code.

Do you want an IRS type agency making decisions about when and where you go; and the treatment you will get upon arrival?

Can't get through the tax code or the 1,018 pages of, "America's Affordable Health Choices Act of 2009?"

Try starting with "Animal Farm" or "1984."

After, slowly work your way into "Cancer Ward" by Solzhenitsyn. Our present system may not be perfect, but then Utopia is a fiction.
