edit to add text of letter:

In a recent town hall meeting, Sen. Tom Coburn bemoaned any government role in health care. It’s awfully peculiar to me that Congress could whip put the public checkbook and write a trillion dollar hot check for an unnecessary war in Iraq at the behest of Bush and company, but can’t see fit to make sure our own citizens have access to health care in our own country.

In addressing a woman’s concerns about her husband who had a traumatic brain injury with feeding needs that were not covered under health insurance, Coburn suggested we should be able to turn to our neighbors. Well, isn’t Sen. Coburn one of our neighbors too? How about if those of us with medical bills we cannot afford to pay just send them to our neighbor the good senator? Maybe if his office gets flooded with enough of them, he might see the light.

9. Guaranteed Health Care In Iraq - But Not For You (Dorlester | HuffPo)

... Article 31 of the Iraqi Constitution, drafted by your right-wing Bushies in 2005 and ratified by the Iraqi people, includes state-guaranteed (single payer) healthcare for life for every Iraqi citizen. Article 31 reads: "First: Every citizen has the right to health care. The State shall maintain public health and provide the means of prevention and treatment by building different types of hospitals and health institutions..." So, according to the American political right-wing, government-guaranteed health care is good for Iraqis, but not good for us ...
