a letter to your local paper...either extolling the factual benefits of an Obama/Biden presidency,or pointing out the shortcomings of a McCain/Palin one...
here's mine:
The architect of John McCain's health care policy,John Goodman,stated
that there are NO uninsured people in the United States-"anyone with access
to an emergency room effectively has insurance.""So I have a solution.
And it will cost not one thin dime," Mr. Goodman said. "The next president
of the United States should sign an executive order requiring the Census Bureau
to cease and desist from describing any American – even illegal aliens – as uninsured."..That
sums up John McCain's health care policy.
The American College of Emergency Physicians has blasted Mr. McCain's
advisor."We urge the McCain campaign to rethink the reckless suggestion by
Mr. Goodman that the tragedy of uninsured patients can be erased by the magic of
emergency departments," said Dr. Lawrence,president of ACEP. "Emergency
physicians can and do perform miracles every day, but taking on the full-time, medical
care for 46 million uninsured Americans is one miracle even we cannot perform. Access
to care in the emergency department is no substitute for the comprehensive health
care reform policy that should be at the heart of the platform of any presidential
campaign."
Texas leads the nation in uninsured residents.Almost one of every four
Texas residents – 24.8 percent – were uninsured in 2006 and 2007, based on an average
of the rates for those two years.One-fifth of Texas children have no health insurance.This
is what you get with a Republican governor,2 Republican senators,and a Republican
Congressman.I guess "Pro-life" only applies until you are born.You're
on your own after that.
