I just sent an email to this address. Perhaps you would like to copy and paste it and send her one also. Here is what I sent..... Dear Rachael and staff, I am shocked beyond belief that you have publicly applauded Obamacare AND said you and your friends are on it. To begin with, there is no healthcare involved with Obamacare. It is set up to take your money, but provide no service and the only backend it has is wide open for hackers to steal all the money from the checking accounts or credit cards used to sign up. Then that non-existent backend that goes nowhere is NOT available to doctors or hospitals, so if you sign up and actually try to use Obamacare your doctor or hospital cannot actually tell if you are signed up for it or not. Now lets get into the cost involved so far for this non-existent program. So far the cost is into the billions for something that is not there, doesnt work and as far as anyone can tell, will never work. This program DOES have some actual taxes in it though (some of that, you have to read it to know whats in it). Capital Gains taxes are going up from 15% to 43.4% so far (more coming).

Bill: PPACA; Page: 1,941-1,956 $23.6 Billion: “Black liquor” tax hike (Took effect in 2010) This is a tax increase on a type of bio-fuel. Bill: Reconciliation Act; Page: 105 $22.2 Billion: Tax on Innovator Drug Companies (Took effect in 2010): $2.3 billion annual tax on the industry imposed relative to share of sales made that year. Bill: PPACA; Page: 1,971-1,980 $20 Billion: Tax on Medical Device Manufacturers (Takes effect Jan. 2013): Medical device manufacturers employ 360,000 people in 6000 plants across the country.
