The following is the introductory paragraph of my letter:
Dear {Name of Member of
Congress}:
When
you cast a vote for legislation do you subscribe to an oath similar to that of
which physicians subscribe, the Hippocratic oath? I ask because your vote for
the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) helped few people and hurt
many more. More specifically, Kaiser Family Foundation published a recent study
that indicates that over 50% of the uninsured prior to the enactment of ACA
remain uninsured due to costs and my family and I comprise four of the
estimated 16 million Americans (per Health Policy and Strategy Associates, Inc.)
that have lost their affordable healthcare insurance due to your vote for the
ACA. I think you would agree that these outcomes constitute a
problem. Albert Einstein stated, “We cannot solve our problems with the same
thinking we used when we created them.” Therefore, I encourage you to undertake
personal change to learn a new way of thinking to help solve one of our
Nation’s daunting challenges. Please
allow me to help you begin the process.
