Good news for those who hate the recently enacted health care reform bill. You do not have to keep any of your children between the ages of 22-26 on your insurance plan. If you are given a rebate of $260 to help offset the donut hole in Medicare Part D, simply return it to the U.S. Department of Treasury. In other words, you do not have to take advantage of any of the improvements embedded in the bill.

I would strongly encourage you to attend the next Tea Baggers and Republican Party meetings and try to convince them to do the same.

Please do not do as a lot of Republican senators and representatives have done over the past year — vote against a bill to help the economy and then return to their states for the ribbon-cuttings made possible by the bill they voted against.
