Writing my senators about healthcare reform bill

I'm writing Jim Webb and Mark Warner today, asking them to promise me they will fully read and understand the bills they vote on before casting any vote, particularly in regards to healthcare reform. The letter is as follows:

Dear Senator Warner:

I am writing to strongly urge your VOTE AGAINST the HEALTHCARE REFORM bill. I am not a Republican, nor a Democrat, but feel both major parties have done irreparable damage by bloating our Federal Government FAR beyond the mandates of The Constitution. Now is the time for the Federal Government to DO NOTHING, or at least, in keeping with the Hippocratic Oath, “Do no damage.” Doing nothing must go against every grain to modern politicians. But for a free market to work, government must TRUST businesses and consumers to work out what is fair, and simply make laws that protect all people.

Instead, good sir, please press for healthcare reform that is enacted piecemeal, bit by bit. You will find much greater support for ONE THING AT A TIME, e.g. tort reform, individual to tax deductions for insurance costs, or Federal subsidies for hospital emergency rooms. Some of us voters really believe that a grandiose “reform” that is necessary NOW and ALL AT ONCE is merely an attempt by someone to create a personal legacy: "I gave America it's healthcare system." This is far too big for one person, however great or noble. Even "WE did it" is social self-idolatry. No one will thank those who claim such glory after the new system fails.

Without even reading the current reform bill, let alone understanding it, voting for it is criminally irresponsible. You can be sure it will only lead to a boon for lawyers and swindlers. All the loopholes will be found by those who DO read it, and they will read it most assuredly with a PROFIT MOTIVE. Future generations will condemn this congress as the Most Irresponsible Generation for such loopholes and the resulting boondoggles. You can either vote against it, if there isn’t time to really understand it, or make sure personally that it does not have such loopholes… by reading it.

You spoke recently (to Dr. Nancy) of the Bad Things that will happen “if we don’t do something about healthcare”. But we ALL know—from experience—about the unintended consequences when the government does get involved in something. Even your own comments concluded with glowing remarks about what private companies are doing to reform healthcare. Obviously, then, the free market works well when it is allowed to work freely.

At any rate, please promise that you will NOT VOTE until you have fully read and understood the entire healthcare reform bill. This, at least, is your duty.
