Stop The Government From Taking our Freedom of Choice in Health Care Before It's Too Late
Obama and Liberal Democrats in Congress are pushing "reform" that will force America into a government-run system like Canada or Europe. If they succeed, most Americans will no longer be able to keep the insurance they have. Instead, they will be forced into a government-run health insurance market, with most people enrolled in a government-run health plan. The vast majority of Americans oppose government-run health care because they know it will reduce the quality and increase the cost. Not to mention, our country cannot afford to go deeper in debt to pay for this new program. Obama will dig a financial hole in which our children and grandchildren will never be able to climb out.
I, the undersigned citizen of the United States, petition the U.S. Congress to protect the following rights and stop any legislation that would jeopardize them:
- Freedom: The right to choose the best medical care available, including physician and insurance, for my family.
- Options: The right to get the treatment my condition requires, as soon as it is needed, without bureaucratic red tape or denial of service.
- Transferability: The right to take my health insurance with me if I have to change jobs.
- Equitable: The right to the same tax breaks available to employees should I choose to purchase my own health insurance; and assurance that only those who truly need government assistance get it.
- Accountability: The right to assurances that fraud, waste, and abuse will not be tolerated.
