Medicare vs ObamaCare
This is the letter I just sent to my two Publican Senators.
Can you please explain to me why you don't support the elimination of Medicare?
Honestly, I don't understand why you are so concerned about a larger government role in MY healthcare when you have no problem with government COMPLETELY controlling the health care of my parents.
I don't have any idea whether ObamaCare will be good or bad and it might make sense for you to support it or oppose it.
However, it seems absurd to do everything you can to stop expansion of government healthcare without also saying that Medicare needs to be eliminated.
Look, I am the CFO of the Energy group of one of the biggest banks in the country. We provide excellent health benefits for our employees. I am bothered as much as anyone about the stupid government forms we need to fill out for everything from healthcare to how wide our doors need to be when we renovate.
I just want people to be consistent and I think you are being a hypocrite. If you want to oppose ObamaCare then come up with good reasons. Don't tell me that you won't touch my parents' Medicare but you are scared of government being involved in my healthcare.

Good point. Why don't they
Good point. Why don't they drop out of the FEBP as well. The Federal Employee Benefit Program is great for those who have it.
I am not sure if a congress person needs to serve a full term, but those members of the FEBP get the benefit for life. Regular employees might not get that.
