I am growing increasingly unnerved at the attitude and sound bites coming from your administration and those who have been given the duty, by election, to represent us. My comments today are addressed to you and your White House sound bite team. I saw your press conference yesterday with the nurses. Please do not intonate that Americans support YOUR health care proposal and we all need to "buck up." We bucked up for you with the stimulus, with the omnibus spending bill, and with your budget. Please stop asking us to "buck up" because it fits your agenda, and not necessarily because it is what is best.
Do I believe our current Health Care system could and should be improved? Yes. I also see in the plans put forth that you are not serious about improving the quality and truly lowering the cost -- otherwise I would see tort reform included and unions paying their fair share. Please do not throw away what we have, even if it is not perfect in your eyes, so that you can place another jewel in your crown and tout it in 2012. Please buck up yourself - and take some heat from the trial lawyers and unions in order to do what is right for our nation. When you buck up, then you can ask me to do so, too. I will watch for your lead.
Sincerely,
A concerned mother and citizen
