Obama's Health Care Plan

Dear Senator Cornyn,

I just read your op-ed entitled "Lower The Cost Of Health Care Without Sacrificing Control To Washington". ( http://www.statesman.com/opinion/content/editorial/stories/2009/06/18/0618cornyn_edit.html )

I agree 100%.

I'm a physician in Abilene, TX, in solo private practice, and I have 7 full time employees.

If the Obama health care plan is enacted, I will not be able to afford to pay health care benefits to all 7 of my employees.

Obama's health care plan WILL FORCE ME TO TERMINATE TWO EMPLOYEES...!

As a result of terminating two employees, I will not be able to see and treat all the patients who want to come to me with their health problems.

So, I have three questions:
  1. Will Obama dictate to me WHICH two employees to terminate?
  2. The two employees I have to terminate because of Obama's health care plan, will Obama find them another job to support their families?
  3. How will the Obama health care plan help patients in need of a physician find someone to care for them as so many other physicains, like myself, will be forced to cut back on employees and the number of patients we see?

Sincerely,

Dr. Chris Albritton
Abilene, TX
