Dear Editor,

Once again, Mr. Guzenda plays fast and loose with his facts in his "rebuttal."  For someone who dislikes "talking points," he makes liberal use of progressive talking point spin in trying to defend the Affordable Care Act.  For instance, he claims "an additional 9 million Americans now have coverage" under Obamacare.  How many of those were Medicaid clients who have to enroll every year?  How many of those were because of the 6 million policies that were canceled?  According to the Kaiser Family Foundation, only 22% of the uninsured view Obamacare favorably.  According to a CBS poll, only 6% of the entire population views Obamacare favorably.  If you ask Harry Reid, all the rest of American citizens are liars!  Well, Harry, my wife and I had our supplemental drug insurance premiums increase 70.5% this year...you can't handle the truth!

If the problem was 40 million without insurance, why does the CBO say there will still be 30 million uninsured when Obamacare is fully implemented?  What is the Democrat position on Health Savings Accounts, insurance portability, health care tort reform, allowing insurance companies to sell across state lines, and allowing small businesses to join pools so their companies and their employees can obtain more favorable rates?  These are all alternatives that have been offered and rejected by democrats.

Finally, although Congress had "ample time to read the bill," name one Democrat legislator who did.  There is not enough room to list all those who admit they didn't, including Nancy "We have to pass the bill to find out what's in it" Pelosi, then Speaker of the House.

Democrats don't have enough lipstick for this pig so they kill the messenger, blame Fox News, blame the Koch brothers, blame the Tea Party, blame the Heritage Foundation, blame Rush Limbaugh and still try to blame George Bush.  It's not working and neither is Obamacare.

Sincerely,
Bill Garvin
