Representative Jared Polis;

I understand that when you are in the middle of a fray, it can be impossible to stand back and look at the bigger picture of what is really going on all around you. The people of Colorado need you to do just that, the impossible. Step back from the current Health Care Reform bill, and look at this from the perspective of we lesser educated, and lesser paid individuals that you represent.

If the Senate bill is passed by the House, in it’s present form, not only will federally funded abortion be included, but the very large increase in what we all will have to pay for sustainability of this current legislation will keep us in this “recession” indefinitely. That will obviously mean that large corporations as well as the thousands of smaller businesses that we depend on for job growth and innovation will be crippled for the foreseeable future. That should not be acceptable to anyone as a trade off for a federally run health care system, which has many problems on a stand alone basis.

I’m sure if you really step back and look, you will see that not only will Medicare take a huge setback financially, but the already troubled, federally run, Medicaid program will have to be unsustainably increased to include all of us without current health care insurance. That program will increase exponentially for the foreseeable future as well, and will increase by TRILLIONS of dollars the debt of which our children and grandchildren will have to bear the burden. That, too, is not reconcilable in good conscience by any parent.

I could go on, in some cases line by line, however I will simply close here by being certain that you understand that if you should, by some misguided allegiance to the Democratic party, vote yes on this current health care reform bill, I will do everything in my power to see that you are not my Representative ever again.
