To Congressman Boyd, From Your Constituents

This morning while Congressman Allen Boyd is deciding whether or not he’ll support the trillion dollar Obama-Pelosi-Reid government-run health care experiment, and since the voicemail boxes at his offices are full, the Republican Party of Florida decided to remind the Congressman of what some of his constituents had to say about the government takeover of nearly 20 percent of our economy.

I don’t want any type of national health care, none, zero.

What makes you think the people of the United States want to turn their health care over to the federal government?

How many times do we have to say no before we are listened to?

I’ve been paying into social security since 1953. I don’t mind working. I enjoy working. It looks like you have a nice tan. Maybe if you spent more time in your office reading these bills, you’d have a better idea of what they say.

Get rid of the mandates, and let the consumers decide what type of health care coverage they need.

What makes you think, in your wildest dreams that the government is going to fix anything?

If you are suddenly going to increase insurance coverage, where are the health care workers going to come from to cover this enormous increase?

In a country with universal health care, it took two days to find out I had food poisoning. I was in the hospital for a week, in a room with 8 other people. I don’t think the government should be involved in health care.

I thought this meeting was set up in a small place. He evaded a lot of questions, and didn’t give many definitive answers.

Now why is Congressman Boyd still undecided on health care?….
Boyd said he was "undecided" on the health care bill (he voted no the first time around, one of two Florida Democrats to do so). "I gotta go figure out how I'm going to vote." Boyd said he was studying the new CBO report showing the total cost of $940 billion. "I'll let you guys know something; it'll probably be in the morning." (St. Petersburg Times, 3/18/10).
