Keep government out

The Spokesman-Review

I don’t usually get involved like this, but I feel it’s important to be a small part of this particular fight against government-run health care. It’s quite frightening to contemplate the results of such a bill passing. I’m concerned about the impact it will have on our doctors and pharmacists, if we’ll still be able to get the health care we want or need, and if doctors will still have the choice to prescribe treatments they believe are best for their patients.

It’s important we stand up and support those who agree with us. Cathy McMorris Rodgers, thank you for keeping us up to date on this health care legislation. Please do all you can to fight this, and may God continue to bless, encourage and strengthen you as you do so.
