For God's Sake, Johnson, Did You READ My E-MAIL At All?

It's boiling everywhere, but we at least have power.

Meanwhile, Ron Johnson wrote back to me. The slimeball.

This is an example of how NOT to answer a constituent's question...

Dear Rebecca,

Thank you for contacting me about healthcare reform and the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA).

The passage of PPACA was one of the driving forces in my decision to run for the Senate. I was hoping the Supreme Court would strike down the whole law, unfortunately, the Court has thrown this back into the political arena.

The Court's decision establishes that there is no area of Americans' private lives that is off limits to federal intrusion and control. The fate of this unpopular law is now in the hands of the American People and your elected representatives in Washington. I am entirely committed to repealing PPACA, preserving what works in our health care system, and working to improve what does not. Now, more than ever, we need to make the case that the President's health care law will be a disaster for our health care system and for our budget.

If this law is fully implemented, it will result in rationing, lower the quality of care, and dramatically decrease medical innovation. That is the inevitable result of government run, socialized medicine. It will also lead to trillions of dollars of deficit spending over the next two decades because the cost of this new entitlement has been significantly underestimated. We simply can't afford it.

You have my pledge that I will work to repeal the President's health care law and focus on health care policies that center on bringing private market solutions to satisfy the needs of patients and families.

Thank you again for taking the time to share your thoughts. It is important for me to hear the views and concerns of the people I serve. Since taking office, I have received over 500,000 pieces of correspondence and have had over 200,000 participants in live forums and telephone town hall meetings. Please feel free to contact me in the future if I can further assist you or your family. It is an honor representing you and the good people of Wisconsin in the U.S. Senate.


Sincerely,


Ron Johnson
United States Senator

HE MISSED THE POINT! I don't want the damn thing repealed. Didn't I make that perfectly clear in my letter? I want the health care act to stay. I only wrote 6 long paragraphs on why we HAVE to have health care. Private market solutions won't work if they haven't so far. I would prefer it universal.

Apparently writing a senator is a useless exercise because all you get is a formulaic full of bull letter that he sends to all the other people who are mad at him for being a twit.

Ta,
Bec
