Letter: Let us improve health care by innovation, education and self-reliance

Published: Monday, July 16 2012 12:00 a.m. MDT

Summary

In regard to the letter written by Kathleen Sebelius, U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services ("Obamacare: What's at stake for Utah families," Readers' Forum, July 12):

Secretary Sebelius would bait us to support Obamacare so we can enjoy "free preventive care," "50 percent discounts," etc. These perks are not free. They are paid for via premiums and taxes. Unfortunately, because our country is already so far in debt, our government will continue to borrow money now and let our grandchildren pay it back later plan.

I support the effort to repeal Obamacare. Let us direct our attention to improving our health care system by innovation, education and self-reliance.

I don't think Obamacare prevents innovation, doesn't touch education, and certainly helps people to become more responsible (or else they'll pay a fine!).

We're already paying for these folks via premiums, ER costs, and More..
