Patriot,

When I was a Maine state senator, I chaired the Health and Human Services
Committee for four years.

One of the strongest cases people make for government funding of socialized
healthcare is for individuals who are permanently disabled, often through no
fault of their own. Therefore, they argue, we need these socialized systems to
help those who can’t help themselves.

It sounds nice, but what if all these government programs are hurting — not
helping — our most vulnerable citizens?

One man who has been at the forefront of that fight is Thomas Quiter, the
founder of Mobility Independence Foundation. Thomas was born with Osteogenesis
Imperfecta, which requires him to use a wheelchair for his entire life.

I recently had the opportunity to talk with him on my podcast, “The Porcupine
Report,” and hear how — for his entire life — the socialized healthcare system
put him down, instead of lifting him up.

According to Thomas,

“Everything’s a battle. Everything’s a fight. Every piece of equipment you
need is many, many appointments to justify, and then what you do need, even if
it’s on the market, is rarely actually approved.”

On socialized medicine, Thomas explained how solutions to many problems are
easier and simpler than often thought, if only the people can be empowered to
make better choices than the government.

I was so inspired after talking with Thomas that I told him I would help him
raise $25,000 this month to help MIF empower people to support one another
rather than allow the government to dictate how we should live our lives.

My conversation with Thomas taught me just how widespread this issue really
is.

Did you know that 50% of all wheelchairs, power or manual, break down in a
6-month period?

That’s over a million people in this country who will be left stranded during
that time.

And when wheelchairs do break down, you are forced to go through a provider
who battles with insurance, which can take up to 2 years to be approved. Then
the provider gets the parts and comes to repair the equipment, which can take
as long as 6 weeks.

The average repair time for a wheelchair is about 5 months.

What most people don’t understand is how government regulations stand in the
way of people accessing and repairing the mobility technology they need to live
a full and productive life.

How much simpler would it be for someone with the knowledge and the technology
to make these repairs themselves?

This is why I support MIF’s mission to free people from government regulations
that do nothing to support the people they are intended to help.

During our interview, Thomas said something else that really stuck with me.
“Safety nets belong beneath our feet, not pressing down on top of our heads.”

This is what happens when well-intentioned, but horribly wrong, politicians
try to fix a problem they have no idea how to solve.

Because the truth is, the best solutions don’t come from Washington — they
come from our communities.

This is healthcare freedom in action! No bureaucratic delays, no rationed
care, no one-size-fits-all programs.

Just real people solving real problems.

It’s exactly the kind of innovation I fought for during my time in public
office, and why I’m asking you to join me in supporting this vital cause by
donating today.
