[StBernard] Meeting With Louisianans on Health Care

[Westley Annis]

Dear  Friend,


	

I've enjoyed  traveling around the state the last month talking with many of
you about the  issues impacting you and your families.

	

In my 20 town hall  meetings I've heard from several folks about their
concerns with the proposed  health care reforms in Washington.

	

I strongly support  common-sense reforms to health care, such as lowering
prescription drug prices  and making health care more affordable and
accessible.

	

But I oppose the  Obama health care plan because it allows Washington to
take over health care  decisions that should be made by doctors and
patients.  The Obama plan  could move up to 60 percent of already-insured
Americans onto a government plan  and would not lower premium costs or
increase quality.

	

One of my health care  town hall meetings in Kenner, La., was also aired by
CSPAN.  If  you're interested in hearing more about the Washington proposals
and what I'm  doing to fight this government takeover of health care, please
visit my website  at http://vitter.senate.gov to watch the  video of this
meeting.

	

Please keep in touch  and let me know what you think about efforts to reform
health care.


Sincerely,
David Vitter
U.S.  Senator
