Dearest Members,

I humbly beseech your attention as I express my thoughts on the matter of universal healthcare.

While the benevolent intention of ensuring medical care for all is indeed commendable, I fear such an endeavor may impose undue strain upon our economy and potentially degrade the quality of services rendered.

Historical precedence suggests that individual responsibility and the free market yield more effective outcomes.

Therefore, I earnestly propose we prioritize these time-honored principles in our deliberations.

With the utmost respect and regard,

Kevin
