Lets go back to Civilized Discourse in Politics.

I read, this morning, about a Republican Member of the House, whose office was shot at, also I have followed the threats and acts of violence toward the Democratic House Members. ENOUGH, we need to get back to honest debate, which means acting civil toward one another. I have followed politics since 1963 when I was old enough to vote (you had to be 21 in those days), and I have followed a lot of politicians whom I would not vote for. I have never, however; considered violence toward any of them. I am not to happy with parts of the new Health Care Bill, but these issues should be resolved at the Ballot Box, and not on the streets.

I am concerned about how the financing for this bill will be appropriated. I am also concerned about proposed cuts in MEDICARE, the health care program for us "Old Folks". It is getting more and more difficult for folks over 65 to find providers who will take them. Many Health Care Providers are continuing to cover patients who are under their care on their 65th birthday, but will not take on new MEDICARE patients. If our government cuts MEDICARE by $500Billion and reduces payments to HCPs we will be heard pressed to find providers who will provide needed. I am concerned about the long term affects of this Bill, i.e; where we are going to find replacements for HCPs after the current ones retire or otherwise move out of the Hearth

Care Field.

I am concerned about this Bill and have written both of my Senators about things I feel need fixing, BUT I have not nor will I ever consider anything physical toward them. If your elected official is not to your liking, vote against him in the next election, but; if you don't vote don't complain.
