Another letter to the editors that will probably see the light of day. Of course, they'll probably get lots of responses to this letter from which to choose, because in this area, most people get this issue.
"Apparently one Jennifer Klein is shocked - shocked! - that private insurers are covering their policy holders for money. But then, that's what companies are in business for - to make money. Let's not forget, though, that to make money, these companies have to have satisfied customers, which will drive them to provide the best service they can without putting themselves out of business. The same can't be said, however, for the federal government. If the government's customers aren't satisfied, it doesn't matter, because believe me, the government isn't going out of business.
And Jennifer, you're dreaming if you think that the feds will add 47 million new, if you believe the liberals, health care subscribers who don't pay now and that this will result in people overall paying less. To absorb that many new people, there are only three options: more taxes, a bigger deficit, or rationed health care. Some combination of those three options is actually most likely, but most people will pay more one way or the other. In fact, those 47 million new subscribers, a number which includes millions of illegal aliens, are the only ones who won't pay more.
No, Jennifer, we don't trust the government, and neither did this country's founding fathers. Then again, based on their experiences, neither group has any reason to trust it."
