Letter to Marco Rubio

Congratulations. You are now one of our senators from the great State of Florida.
I note you told us, during elections, one of your first priorities, when you reach the Senate, is to launch a bill to repeal the Health Care Reform Act. I did not vote for you, in the recent election, because of that declaration. You see, Senator Rubio, I am sixty-two years old, without health insurance, but had planned to see health insurance within the next two years or so under this new law. But, you are going to insure that I will not have health insurance. And remember, it is the nature of our representative form of government, even though I did not vote for you, you now represent me as well as those who voted for you.
I have only two requests to make of you, the first of which is that you actually read the Health Care Reform Act before you put forth your bill to repeal the act. Please make sure that it will actually destroy all things American if not repealed. If it merely reduces the profits of health insurance companies, who cares? Second, I would like for you to also introduce a bill which would eliminate all forms of health care coverage for members of Congress. Is it really right that you and your fellow congressmen and senators enjoy what is being denied the citizens of this Country?
I served this country in its Armed Services, did a stint as a law enforcement officer and as a public school teacher not long enough to ‘vest’ in any retirement system. I am currently unemployed and living day to day on social security at least, until such time, as that ‘entitlement’ is eliminated. I think I have earned the right or privilege to put the above requests to you. Will you consider them?
You need not reply directly – and, if you get caught up in the arrogance of your new found position – not at all. It would come as no surprise to me.
