President Obama's Health Care Plan: Too Big, Too Expensive, ...(ould be doing their constituents a great...),Health

ould be doing their constituents a great disservice if they continue on a path of rushing H.R. 3200 through Congress, not only because of its gigantic scope, but also because of the present state of our economy. With national unemployment at virtually 10 percent, depressed consumption and production, and negative economic growth, this is not the time to be fanciful or to play politics with our diminished tax base."

Barreto additionally expressed TLC's rejection of any proposed legislation that would contain these provisions to ostensibly address our nation's Health Care coverage and cost structure problems:

• Health care rationing to covered individuals
• Diminished quality of care, or so called 'cost-benefit' care, to patients
• Universal coverage achieved through unpaid costs or through tax increases that impact our nation's small business owners
• Health Care Reform achieved at the cost of trillions of dollars that future generations will have to pay
  

Finally, Barreto expressed his sincere hope that legislators will rise to meet the challenge of these times in a bipartisan, but responsible manner. "It's too important to ignore any longer, but even more important to address in an engaged and accountable way."
