I've probably moved up on the local teabagger enemy list today

My latest LTTE to the TH got published today.

I fail to see how medical insurance services run by "we the people" -- aka our government -- could possibly be any worse than what we have now. If I was in a position to grade our health care system as it stands right now, I would give it a great big "F."

We have an insurance industry in this country that is basically out of control. I wonder how many of our tea party "friends" realize that in some states in this union, a person who gets the stuffing beaten out of them by their partner can be denied coverage under the excuse that the domestic violence was a pre-existing condition? Or that they'll assure you that you have coverage, but will then claim that the insurance was cancelled to October of 2008, and leave you with thousands of dollars in medical bills? Which is what happened to employees of Turbo Airfoil Designs. And what about the 18,000 Americans who die needlessly every year because they are unable to obtain proper health care?

I don't call that a successful health care system. I call that a failure. And that's without government control of our health care system. And it's why I don't see how these reforms could make things worse.

Didn't take the ol' teabaggers too long to come out of the woodwork here in the comments section.

1. Teabaggers enemies list

That's not a bad place to be as long as they don't come to your house.

2. TH Mod's are censoring my remarks

I guess the mod at the TH won't let me post with reviewing my statements which are very to the point..

3. Note that the newest study has 45,000/year dying from lack of health care

And I have yet to hear anyone dispute it.

4. When I wrote this

When I wrote this the latest figures I had heard was about 18,000. I didn't start hearing the 45,000 until after I had already sent in the letter. It took a while to get published.
