Here's mine --
Dear Secretary Leavitt:
I am not a highway patrolman, and I don't work for you.
I am a private physician who is working harder and harder just to make ends meet. I have cut overhead as low as I can and I am looking at creative ways to limit expenses, let alone give raises to my valued employees.
I have already had to cap my Medicaid patients, in order to keep my cash flow from further dwindling.
I, therefore, get to feeling extremely resentful when someone hands me an unfunded mandate from on high, and tells me "Son, if you want to work here (America) from now on, you'll have to pony up some extra cash, and do it *my* way."
