Dear Congress
I am a very unhappy constituent regarding the health care bill. I feel the bill is too large and expensive for the country to handle. In addition I believe that it fails to deal with one of the most important issue related to health care: rising premiums. Many of Americans feel that we no longer have a voice in our federal government and that needs to be changed.
The following are a list of ideas for a common sense health care reform bill that will not cost the country as much as the current bill did:
1. The increase in health care premiums have to be tied to a benchmark like inflation or the cost of living
2. People who receive unemployment benefits get to keep their insurance as long as they are on unemployment.
3. People can not be dropped due to the amount of their claims
4. No pre-existing conditions
5. If you get insurance on your own it is tax deductible
I feel these are more common sense approaches that the nation will support and keep premiums down for the average person. This letter will probably not get to you and be pushed aside by one of your aides. If it happens that you do read it please provide some feedback.
