Maggie's Farm

Luther,

I appreciate the nuance and agree that there is no substitute for thinking.

However, Fleckenstein not only summarizes the bill via a compilation of his tweets, he directly links the Health Care Bill to his post at his site. Anyone can verify his "opinion" will relative ease. (Here is the URL to Fleckenstein's blog: http://blog.flecksoflife.com/2009/07/19/the-hc-monstrosity/)

The Liberty Counsel overview is "reviewed, revised and adapted" from Fleckenstein's work. It too has a direct link to the Health Care Bill.

Here is the URL for the complete list of e-mail addresses and fax numbers for the US Congress and Governors (http://www.conservativeusa.org/mega-cong.htm).

May I suggest you (and everyone else) copy and send the entire summary from Fleckenstein via e-mail to every elected official on the list with your own commentary as a preamble to express your thoughts about this bill? (If they are not going to read it, you might as well send them the Cliff Notes.) Give credit to Fleckenstein in your note.

I will be expressing my disgust with the bill and the process. I will also express my desire for health care reform based upon consumer directed principles, price and quality transparency and portability, among other things.
