Dear Mr. Leonard:Um, Mr. Leonard is my deadbeat dad. Just call me Jake.
Thank you for contacting me. As you are likely aware, on March 21, 2010 I voted with the only bipartisan side of the health care reform bill: the opposition.Well, my accusation backfired. Thank you, Representative Shimkus for opposing ObamaCare.
In the months and years to come, I look forward with hope that this same bipartisan cooperation will repeal ObamaCare's job killing and state bankrupting mandates while preventing its devastating cuts to Medicare.Representative Shimkus, we already knew that! Go on...
I am confident future Congresses can and will restore freedom to our healthcare system, giving Americans the tools to access affordable health care in our ever-resilient free market.I, like many voters out there, will believe it when we see it, whether liberal or conservative.
The reality is that in the midst of a sluggish economy and a state budgetary crisis, this legislation writes exactly the wrong prescription for job growth and financial solvency. ObamaCare's insurance mandates and $52 billion tax increase on employers will destroy rather than create jobs.When it comes to liberals, losing 5 million more jobs should reach their goal of 10-12 million unemployed!
And seeing the path to bankruptcy unfold before them, over half the states have already introduced legislation to opt out of this bill's unprecedented and unfunded state mandates. In Illinois alone, the bill establishes upwards of $2 billion in unfunded burdens on top of our already $12.8 billion budget deficit in 2011.I really hope the Illinois voters paid attention to that last statement: In Illinois alone, the bill establishes upwards of $2 billion in unfunded burdens on top of our already $12.8 billion budget deficit in 2011.
Many of the jobs to disappear in the wake of this legislation will be medical professionals themselves. The plan's $523.5 billion cut to Medicare......I'm sorry, but Obama wants to cut over half a trillion dollars from a program that's about as bankrupt as Social Security? That's not fiscal responsibility - let Dave Ramsey teach you fiscal responsibility!
.......had President Obama's own Medicare Actuaries report doctors "might end their participation in the [Medicare] program (possibly jeopardizing access to care for beneficiaries.)" The only jobs actually created by this bill will be over 16,000 IRS agents to enforce the mandates as well as thousands of new bureaucrats to administer the government's takeover of health care.Well, Obama's already working on losing 5 million medical professionals on top of the 5-7 million already unemployed!
Just as our workers, our employers and our seniors will suffer under ObamaCare, so too will the unborn. President Obama's executive order is a clear sign the bill itself would permit taxpayer funded abortions. And with the President's ability to modify or rescind his order at any time, the threat to the sanctity of life under this new law is a very real concern.So the number one reason Obama wanted healthcare reform is so our tax dollars can be used to fund abortion centers and the despicable act of abortion! You make me sick, you stupid liberal bureaucrats!
The effects of this legislation need not become permanent. You can find out exactly how we can correct the flaws in ObamaCare at gop.gov/solutions/healthcare. Again, I appreciate your thoughts on health care reform and thank you for taking the time to contact me. To stay informed on other important issues, I encourage you to sign up for my weekly electronic newsletter at shimkus.house.gov.
Sincerely,
FINAL THOUGHT: I admitted that jumping to conclusions about Shimkus were totally incorrect. If Rep. Shimkus happens to read this, let this be my apology and don't take my remarks to some parts of your letter as insult, just as constructive criticism for future Congresses you will hopefully be a part of.
