Healthcare at what cost?

[I just sent this email to each of my congressional representatives]

Mr. Hodes, Sen. Gregg, Sen Shaheen,

Stopping insurance companies from denying coverage for pre-existing conditions - I agree; I get it.

Stopping insurance companies from raising premiums due to illnesses - I agree; I get this too.

Reducing the cost of care for the uninsured who's primary care physician is an emergency room doctor - I agree; I also get this.

But (sorry), at what cost? At what involvement and size of government? With what risk do we create more dependency on entitlement programs while at the same time reducing one's capacity for self-determination? And lastly, at what expense to the unborn?

These are the questions I am asking you to seriously consider.

Regards,

Daniel Goddu
