HEALTH CARE: Keep government out of it

RUBY RYAN; Port Orchard

How do we, the people, stop government from taking complete control of our lives? It will be almost impossible.

In five months, millions of people have lost their jobs and health insurance, housing and financial institutions have collapsed, pensions and investments have been lost, and government has taken over the automobile and tobacco industries.

The stimulus package is not working. The only people President Obama is putting back to work are in government jobs, which means bigger government.

Cap and trade has passed the house with the help of eight Republicans. How much is their votes costing the taxpayer?

Hopefully the Senate will not vote yes for this, and it will die.

Now politicians want to take over our health care. What a disaster that would be. It will take over $1 trillion for government to put in place health care reform, which it will control. If they succeed, every citizen should demand Obama be the first to sign up, followed by every politician in America. No more free medical supplied by taxpayers.

Everyone is still blaming George Bush for the mess our country is in. Put the blame where it belongs: Democratic members of Congress.

If anyone has any solutions to our problems with government, I would like to hear them. Writing to all of my representatives has been useless and a waste of time.
