For some interesting reading, get a copy of HR3200 from the Internet, all 2,700-plus pages of the monstrosity. Read it carefully! 

OK, for those of you who fall asleep easily, read the first 60 pages of it. That should be enough to raise your blood pressure several points. Within those first 60 pages we are told that individuals will be limited to $5,000 worth of health care, $10,000 for a married couple. 

This paltry sum wouldn’t cover an extended hospital stay. We are also told in no uncertain terms that health care will be provided for all within the confines of our borders, whether legal citizens or otherwise.

The icing on this choking cake is that every person will be issued an ID card that allows full financial access to your federal government. Page 1,000 states that no future Congress can repeal this bill which is strictly unconstitutional. 

I haven’t read more of this so-called health care reform bill but I would not be surprised to find that we may be required to have a number tattooed on our wrist someday soon. Believing that this bill will reduce health care costs is as ludicrous as believing chickens wear false teeth. Yet by the time this letter is published it is highly possible that the disapproving public will have had this bill shoved down our throats.  The America we once knew and loved has been stolen from us.

How’s that hopey/changey thing working out for you?
