Reader disappointed with Obama administration. . .

Healthcare reform is the right thing to do. Help at last for the poor and underserved.

I am deeply disappointed that those who are supposed to be representing the will of the American people have chosen to violate that trust. Shame on those elected officials and shame on President Barack Obama. I am disgusted by all involved.

If all this bill does is make the insurance companies lift the lifetime limit, sell packages over state lines and stop them from deleting folks with previous condition, then that's all they would have had to vote for and it would have been passed ages ago. This bill has so many “hidden” agendas that will come out later that it scares me. I am 70, and I have no idea what will be left for my grandchildren. We need to clean out the Congress and especially get rid of the prince and the princess. They got their way but now we will be the ones to pay for it. I see no way this country will be able to get out of debt after what this president and Congress have done.

I would want that language to be well-documented and saved, as I do not trust the present inhabitant in the White House to keep his word as lying is one of his most prevalent attributes. Now let us get ready to face the bill that will be much greater than what the Congressional Budget Office has told us.

I'm astonished that we are stepping in the right direction. This bill is aimed at the overall “quality” of healthcare and prevention, but it would only take an idiot to figure that out.
