On open letter to Senator Patty Murray, Senator Maria Cantwell and Representative Dave Reichert.

I think it is important to keep the healthcare debate simple.

A key component is that the recipients pay something out-of-pocket for both the premiums and at the time of any service.

With that caveat, is it too much to ask that you give us the same coverage you have as our elected representatives?

If that is not feasible, I ask only that your respective legislative bodies agree to accept the same coverage that you are able to provide for us.

Anything much different to that is probably too complicated.

If you are not able to accept this limitation, please provide the rationale for your position.

Thank you for your representation of our interests.
