To: dontreadthis; Mrs. B.S. Roberts

A long time ago a convention met to hammer out what became the Constitution of the United States of America. In a single, held between two fingers document, this convention brought forth the foundation of the greatest nation in the checkered history of this planet. Eventually a small number of amendments were added, but even these didn’t create an unwieldly document.
A very short time ago, the resulting government brought forth upon this earth what is called a Health Care Bill. This bill, so voluminous cannot easily be held by a strong person. Thousands of pages containing tens of thousands of unclear “regulations” have 300 million people shaking their heads as it descends into chaos.
I ask you, do you really desire to see the people who brought forth the “ACA” sit to re-write the Constitution of the United States of America? Really? The printing of the new document would require the sacrifice of every tree in the USA to acquire enough paper.

Unlike Obamacare, the proposed amendments are simple and structural.
