Please take the time to review the following comments re: the 1,017 page
health care bill pending in congress. We all need to be aware and
proactive with our respective elected representatives regarding this
"reform" that is being pushed without adequate reading and review as the
previous "stimulus" and "tarp" funding was also presented

force employers to abandon their private plans.

treatments/benefits a person may receive.
