Fix what's broken; don't start over

Government controlled health care? No! Take a step back and let's look at anything the government administers. Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, USPS, etc., all going broke.

The government wants to add this to an already struggling economy and exploding deficit? It's time to slow down and review just what needs to be fixed in our health care system, not start over. Why not improve what we have? Do you tear down your house to remodel your kitchen? And what about tort reform? It is nowhere to be found in any of the more than 1,000 plus pages of this bill.

It's time that our elected representatives start supporting the people rather than their own agendas. Most Americans do not want this form of health care. If this reform is so good, why aren't our elected officials lining up to get into this program? The truth is, just like Social Security, Congress will never be enrolled in Obamacare.

All citizens should stop and think just what this bill could mean to the future of themselves and their families.
