Mr. President, members of Congress, do not underestimate the will of the American people. We know wrongdoing and corruption when we see it, and ladies and gentlemen, we see it. We recognize when our freedoms are fading; when our freedoms are being blatantly snatched away. We will stand up and fight for them, despite the difficulties.
Today I will, God-willing, have a chance to speak at a town hall and voice my concerns to Representative Tim Walz. I've revised my statement from what I previously posted and would like to post it here. May God use my words towards a positive impact on the citizens of my district and state, and hopefully, this country.
Thank you, Congressman Walz for hosting this town hall. I thank you for your time.
Sir, I stand before you today in total opposition to HR 3200.
I have been personally studying this bill, and would like to share my concerns with my findings.
· The president continues to say that we can keep our coverage if we like it, but, sections 122, 313, and 401 clearly outline how that will simply not be possible, as individuals and employers will be taxed if their plans are deemed unacceptable by the Health Services Advisory Committee. Let us not forget section 102 as well, which poses limits on new enrollment into private insurance.
· Again, people are assured over and over that they will have freedom in their choice of insurance. Yet section 312 clearly outlines the requirement for employers to auto-enroll their employees into the plan unless the employee takes action first.
· Many, including the president, have made claims that this plan will be deficit neutral, and that we will be able to pay for this plan without affecting taxes and the current budget. This is proven to be absolutely false in section 444 with its proposed additional tax increase on wealthier Americans.
Then, there is the issue of size and complication. This bill is over 1,000 pages long. To have such major legislation that is far too convoluted for most people to sit down and read is highly irresponsible. With that in mind, I have a threefold question for you. Beforehand, however, let me just say this: if this bill passes as is despite America’s standing up to cry out against its massively negative impact, I will work my hardest in the next year and half to defeat those who voted for it, and elect those who will make right this wrong. Remember, this isn’t just about this bill. This is about government overstepping its bounds in a number of other areas. Now, on with the questions:

First, did you personally read HR 3200 in its entirety before you voted on it; Second, if not, is that a responsible action to have voted on such a massive bill without knowing the details; Third, can you now show me specifically from the bill where the statements I made above are incorrect?
