“I am writing respectfully to ask you to oppose President Obama's proposed health care reform plan as outlined in the President's summary reform. In a word, it will be devastating. The analysis provided to Senator Williams from their Health and Human Services Commission is roughly $4 billion to $5 billion for the 2-year budget if we implemented this plan in a State that is arguably in better shape than other States but still facing a significant budget shortfall for the next budget year, $11 billion to $17 billion. I hope you understand as a member of the Senate Finance Committee who has wrestled with these very difficult issues I respectfully ask you to oppose President Obama's plan because of the fiscal havoc it would cause for the State we both love so dearly. Respectfully, Tommy Williams, State Senator.”
