To the writer of the second letter: have you never been turned down for reimbursment for a procedure you and your doctor decided was medically necessary but your insurance company decided was not? Have you personally actually managed to negotiate a deal for health insurance that you can actually afford while simultaneously providing adequate coverage, unlike the people in a recent New York Times story? A plan that won’t find a way to drop you when you want to make a claim? Frankly, I doubt it, but even if that is the case, you can keep your insurance. Just don’t go around fucking it up for the rest of us. (I find it interesting that the writer had only two points, neither of which actually make any sense when examined. The offered solution: less regulation. Natch.)
To the writer of the fourth letter: you really want to give taxpayer money to go buy expensive individual insurance policies for every single American? I guess conservatives really are the new spendthrifts, especially when there is a simple way to minimize the money the government must spend to accomplish our goals: a public option combined with effectiveness research.
Someone tell me: why are these people so stupid?
