My husband tweeted this out. It’s about the new health care bill trying to go through congress. We need to change the health care in the U.S. But I don’t think this is the way to do it. We need to start writting congress to let them know this is not the right way to go.
Interested in the current Health Bill? Here are several key points. Pass on if interested.
posted moments ago on Twitter.
While the Health Care System really needs reform, the current bill is not the right thing to do — it is an expensive catastrophe in the making. Please take the time to look at a few of the cited points below.
This is Brave, New World stuff — a not good for your health, your health insurance, or the health of our country, if you conceive freedom of choice and liberty, to be a hallmark of living in the USA.
Let’s get it right the first time. Please get in contact with your Congressional representatives and US senators to let them know how you feel.

This bill would drive unemployment, taxes, and the deficit through the stratosphere. It would turn hospitals into the DMV, dramatically reduce our access to healthcare, let bureaucratic slime decide when it’s time for us to die, and guarantee that no one in his right mind goes to medical school. As for the damage this would do to individual liberty, well you decide.
