Margaret Wolfe Hungerford said: ``Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.'' I behold no beauty in cutting and seeing cut the heart out of healthcare in America. I see no beauty in children not being able to take care of themselves because their parents don't have the resources. I see no beauty in a bill that promotes wealth for the wealthy and decreases services and resources for those at the bottom. It is a bad bill. It is not good for America.
