Dear
Congressman,
Re:
Health Care. Again!
What is
it with you guys?
I mean,
really. Is it possible that Republicans fail to understand that their “repeal
and replace” obsession is wildly unpopular? That those who’ll suffer the most
are precisely their most faithful supporters? That no matter how hard you try
to reach agreement between “moderate” (!) Republicans and the right-wing
extremists, their concerns are simply incompatible: there’s no way to
simultaneously cut costs AND provide the kind of “wonderful” health care system
Trump promised his voters.
I know, I
know, you have already responded to me on this issue—three times, in fact, and
on the same day!—with boilerplate letters repeating word for word the familiar
Republican talking points. But the intractable reality remains.
If, as
promised (threatened?) the Republican-led congress returns to this issue in
short order so that Trump can boast at least one victory in his first hundred
days, I want you, as my representative, to vote no. Enough with this lock-step
partisan intransigence that makes progress on this and every other issue
impossible. It’s time for a return to reason and sanity. Vote no on repeal and
replace.
A little
less respectfully and with rather more impatience than before,
Peter
Clothier, Ph.D.
