Cornyn Blasts Baucus Bill
September 23, 2009
Here's a snippet:
Republican Sen. John Cornyn on Tuesday stepped squarely into the partisan melee over health care reform, warning Texans and the Senate Finance Committee that a proposed compromise by Senate Democrats' would saddle the Lone Star State with billions of dollars in added costs.
The San Antonio lawyer, leading GOP efforts to regain control of the Senate in 2010, drew upon a study he requested from the Texas Health and Human Services Commission to contend that the Democrats' proposal would add 2.5 million more poor people to Texas' Medicaid rolls and boost state taxpayers' projected Medicaid costs by $20.4 billion over 10 years.

Dear Senator John Cornyn, I am writing to you to request that you continue to stand up for us Texans the battle against the current health care reform bill. I am a 40 year old Middle Class WORKING American. I have worked my entire adult life at trying to improve my financial position and my education. I am currently a Graduate Student at Texas A&M University, full-time worker, and a mom. I find that the harder I work and the more I achieve the less my take home $ seems to be.
American was founded on hard working principles and I believe that we should move back to the basic principles of the constitution. I come from a working class family that are life long Democrats. For the 1st time in my life, I voted Republican during the 2009 elections. I no longer agree with the direction of the Democratic party.
I support your recent efforts and I wish that you will continue to consider Middle Class America when voting on important issues.
Thank You,

Thank you Senator Cornyn for your bold stance on the health issues trying to be passed into law. I love my country and this is one of the worst bill which has been presented. I ask you to continue to fight the fight for the sake of my family as well as those which do not comprehend the damage this would cause our future generations. I am self empoyed and my insurance rates went up so high I could not afford it anymore. Our health care does need fixing but I believe there are ways to do so which will enable reasonable and affordable care without bringing this bill of insult to my christian values as well as a burden to our already over-taxed nation. Please continue the good work you are doing and know there is a woman in Mesquite TX which fully endorses all you are doing in this fight for our nation.
Thank you,

$20 billion over 10 years is $2 billion per year or about $100 per month per person for health care... Hmmm, sounds like a pretty good deal for Texas. Let's do it!
