This letter was not sent to the office of the president at the last moment due to the fear that the government would use it as an excuse to scrutinize aspects in which it didn't have any business:
"Mr President:
You have said that there can be no debate whether or not all Americans should have access to quality and affordable health-care. Why not? Is it not the responsibility of the citizen to provide for their own welfare under capitalist ideology? I am interested on hearing the view of the President of the United States, not the view of his office. This country was built on the principles of freedom and equality: by this latest measure, people are being stripped of their freedoms in the name of making things equal. Also, the redistribution of wealth, otherwise known as the higher taxation percentages for the wealthy, strikes at the base of Marx's Communist Manifesto: "From each according to his ability, to each according to his need". Is this the implementation of Marxist policy?"
