Open letter to the White House

Dearest Linda Douglass,

This is laughable. At http://www.whitehouse.gov/blog/Facts-Are-Stubborn-Things/ you directly request the public to respond:

If you get an email or see something on the web about health insurance reform that seems fishy, send it to flag@whitehouse.gov.

OK. Since a representative like John Conyers publicly admits he hasn't even read the bill, and would require the assistance of a couple of lawyers to interpret the bill either way, how would I know what sounds fishy? If he's ignorant of what's in it, why should I rely on my government to adequately inform me? Hmmm? Our own majority members of congress are not intimately familiar with this massive boondoggle and therefore they are unworthy of our inquiry. That irresponsible representation alone directs me to seek alternative sources for information.

Now, you sit here and lie to me regarding your own plan to eliminate the private individual medical insurance market with government run health care and insist that false rumors abound? You're truly out of touch. And, you must be very naive and simple. Via your plan, the only folks who will NOT lose their private insurance coverage are members of Congress!

1,000 plus pages of government run trash. Dump it! You can keep your attempt at communism. There's not even a lick of tort reform in this hastily compiled garbage!

I will continue to seek out alternative views on this disastrous attempt at legislation for no other reason than that I cannot trust you or your president to be truthful. I'd be delusional to think otherwise.
