I received the following in an email and am strongly against it.

FINALLY...THE $64,000 QUESTION WAS ASKED !!

YESTERDAY ON "ABC-TV", DURING THE "NETWORK SPECIAL ON HEALTH CARE," OBAMA WAS ASKED:

"MR. PRESIDENT, WILL YOU AND YOUR FAMILY GIVE UP YOUR CURRENT HEALTH CARE PROGRAM AND JOIN THE NEW 'UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE PROGRAM' THAT THE REST OF US WILL BE ON ????"... (BET YOU ALREADY KNOW THE ANSWER) ...

THERE WAS A STONEY SILENCE AS OBAMA IGNORED THE QUESTION AND CHOSE NOT TO ANSWER IT !!!

IN ADDITION, A NUMBER OF SENATORS WERE ASKED THE SAME QUESTION AND THERE RESPONSE WAS ..."WE WILL THINK ABOUT IT."

AND THEY DID. IT WAS ANNOUNCED TODAY ON THE NEWS THAT THE "KENNEDY HEALTH CARE BILL" WAS WRITTEN INTO THE NEW HEALTH CARE REFORM INITIATIVE ENSURING THAT CONGRESS WILL BE 100% EXEMPT !!

SO, THIS GREAT NEW HEALTH CARE PLAN THAT IS GOOD FOR YOU AND I, IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR OBAMA, HIS FAMILY OR CONGRESS?? WE (THE AMERICAN PUBLIC) NEED TO STOP THIS PROPOSED DEBACLE ASAP !!!! THIS IS TOTALLY WRONG !!!!!

PERSONALLY, I CAN ONLY ACCEPT A UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE OVERHAUL THAT EXTENDS TO EVERYONE, NOT JUST US LOWLY CITIZENS, WHILE THE WASHINGTON "ELITE" KEEP RIGHT ON WITH THEIR GOLD-PLATED HEALTH CARE COVERAGES.

This government health care isn't about covering the 5% of Americans that need coverage, it's about government takeover of 1/6th of the US economy and controlling what we do and how we live. A simple alternative would be to let doctors get tax credit for treating the uninsured.
