What the American people do not want is this ill-conceived legislation that will leave a lasting and negative impact on generations to come. This deeply flawed legislation will do the following: Raid Medicare, which faces insolvency in 2017, by over half a trillion dollars in order to create a massive new entitlement program.   Raise taxes on our families and small businesses by over half a trillion dollars.   Lead to increases in insurance premiums. Increase overall spending on health care by over $200 billion Kill jobs.   Increase the national debt and deficit, leaving our children and grandchildren to pay the price. The Democratic leadership abused and manipulated the legislative process for political gain, in an effort to force an eventual government takeover of health care that the American people do not want. Nothing is more sacred in this country than our freedom and democracy.  These are the fundamental principles that make America the greatest country in the world, and I cannot support legislation that jeopardizes the freedom, democracy, prosperity and opportunity of future generations of Americans.   I thank you for allowing me to represent you in Washington and will continue fighting for the issues of most concern to you and your family.     Sincerely, Mario Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Share on Digg Share on LinkedIn Share on MySpace Share on Yahoo Buzz CONTACT INFORMATION Washington, DC 328 Cannon House Office Building Washington, DC 20515 Phone: (202) 225-2778 Fax: (202) 226-0346 Miami, FL 12851 SW 42nd Street Suite 131 Miami, FL 33175 Phone: (305) 225-6866 Fax: (305) 225-7432 Collier County, FL 4715 Golden Gate Parkway Suite 1 Naples, FL 34116 Phone: (239) 348-1620 Fax: (239) 348-3569 Click Here to E-Mail Mario Update My Profile - Unsubscribe - Privacy Policy
