Senator Brown,

I am urging you to vote no to ruining quality health care in America. This bill claims to provide cover to 30 million Americans and will have to use Federal government subsidies to do it. It also will increase regulations on health insurance companies which will necessarily increase premium costs or force the insurance companies out of business. This means that everyone will pay more for health insurance; individuals, businesses, and the Federal government via subsidies and as a result individuals and businesses again through increased taxes. Nowhere is there any mechanism to actually lower health care costs. Some simple ideas that we should try before drastically overhauling a system that 200 million Americans actually like are; a la carte health insurance to allow individuals to choose to pay for what they think is worth covering, allow health insurance companies to compete across state lines increasing competition and lowering premiums, make all health care expenditures for everyone tax deductible, tort reform to reduce the estimated 25% cost of defensive medicine, and yes, insurance reform to prevent insurance companies from dropping patients that develop an expensive condition. If you truly care about the welfare of America and We the People, you must vote against this health care bill.

It's not too late to do the right thing.

Your constituent,

Aaron Norton
