I write to thank my fellow Alaskans, and in particular the nearly 600 Mat-Su residents, who joined me last week to talk about the health care bills before Congress.
I appreciated the opportunity to share my concerns about the fiscal impact of a $1 trillion health care reform bill that does little to improve access to doctors and fails to reduce the trillions already being spent on health care costs. Most of you were quite concerned about a government takeover of health care and wanted to know why we can’t fix the problems with Medicare and the VA health system before creating another health care bureaucracy through a federally run government health plan. Many of you submitted comment cards that focused on issues such as the need for tort reform as well as making health care more affordable. Your comments are invaluable to me and I hope you continue to contact my office to share your views.

I look forward to hearing your positions on health care reform. Please visit my Web site (murkowski.senate.gov/public) or contact my Wasilla office to share your thoughts with me.
Sen. Lisa Murkowski

Blow the whistle on anything at a state agency and especially if your concerns point to a valid management no-no, the first thing the ASEA/ AFSCME does to discredit is your complaint as health trust psych case. What they don't understand doping people up on happy pills does not resolve grievances or reduce their liability.
The big question , as USDOL discovered, kickbacks from providers commonly go back to the union as part of the scheme of over used medicine. "

Now everyone will be FORCED to purchase healthcare insurance. If i have no confidence in our doctors, why is it that i am FORCED to purchase health insurance? why can't i just put that money into my own account for "a rainy day"????
Anything that is FORCED upon you is never a good thing, therefore I believe this is not either. "
