He'll probably never see it, but then again, you never know.
Dear Mr. President:
<snip>
PLEASE promise that you will veto any legislation that does not include a robust public option for us.
Insurance companies are leeches and vultures. They provide NO service except to hide "terms and conditions," extort as much money as they can get away with from people who can't afford it, and then weasel out of giving any real value for that money.
PLEASE don't let the insurance companies and their shills say that is the sacred cow of "capitalism" because it's not -- it's theft and fraud. These are immoral and criminal enterprises. If we must deal with them at all, please sideline them and keep them on a strong, short leash. Otherwise, we'll be dealing with an Enron-like fiasco in a few short years.
<snip>
I WILL NOT voluntarily give one penny to for-profit health insurance companies that are interested only in golden parachutes, obscene salaries/bonuses, and the capital gains profits of their investor/profiteer class. They are an abomination -- profiteering from human pain and misery just as much as illegal arms runners and human traffickers are.
Mr. President, my children and I have supported you and trusted you from the beginning. <snip> PLEASE don't let us down on this.
If we can't have the ideal, a single-payer system, AT LEAST please promise to veto any legislation that does not contain a strong and robust public option.
I know you've got a terrible mess on your hands and so many things to deal with, but this is one of the most urgent. Thank you for all you're doing and trying to do.
Respectfully,
...
I don't know if it will help, but I feel a tiny bit better for having sent it.
