Here's Cornyn's reply to my demand for single payer health care

[snappyturtle]

Guess I'll have to write him.....again! I wonder who he thinks is making decisions about health care today if not bureaucrats and lawyers! From the party of 'no'. Doesn't give any specific fix. Love the admonition at the end of the e-mail.

Dear Mrs. ______________:

Thank you for your comments regarding my recent newsletter about health care reform. It is important that I remain abreast of issues affecting Texans, and I appreciate having the benefit of your views on this matter.

It may interest you to learn, that I am helping lead a Senate health reform working group that meets regularly to discuss the most pressing areas for reform in our nation’s healthcare system. It is important that Americans have access to affordable health insurance and therefore, I believe we must reform our healthcare system, emphasizing individual choice and trusting patients, their families, and their doctors—not lawyers or bureaucrats—to make health maintenance and treatment decisions. I am committed to improving access to quality, affordable healthcare, and you may be certain that I will keep your views in mind as I work my congressional colleagues to address this critical issue.

I appreciate having the opportunity to represent the interests of Texans in the United States Senate. Thank you for taking the time to contact me.

Sincerely,

JOHN CORNYN
United States Senator

1. I don't want 'affordable health insurance'. I want affordable health care like I had in the 60's

and 70's. Went to my private doctor's office where he took care of all types of problems for my son and myself. Broken arms, busted lip, 'female' stuff, etc. for charge of $15 per office visit plus any extras for the fix.

Now you can't even have blood drawn for testing in a doctor's office. Must go to a lab and then wait for the test results to be sent to your doctor and make another appointment for him to refer you to somebody else. You end up wasting his time, taking days off from your job, and seeing about 5 people.

3. Isn't Cornyn a lawyer AND a bureaucrat?

WTF? The goal of the plan should be health care...no health insurance!

4. He's just such a shit!

He embarrasses the rest of Texas.

5. I hope Texas does not re-elect this arrogant Senator. He knows

what people want but he continues his nonsense with non-committal messages. He is truly an embarrassment.
