You think about antelope and elk seasons or October whitetails and the November rut. A 3-year stretch in jail would pass more swiftly. There is yard work to be done, lawns to be mowed, a house that needs painting. A few 3-D tournaments or practice in the backyard occasionally breaks the monotony but mostly there is the waiting. Why not try bowfishing on a hot summers day? There are always carp, gar, or some other local rough fish offering sporting archery fare. You'll also keep your skills sharp during the off season. The best way to learn more about the sport is to visit a local archery shop and then get out on the water and give it your best shot.

Hatch urged the President to work with Congress to "discard the disruptive policies...like the employer mandate." "Unfortunately, your health care promises are inconsistent with this law," Hatch wrote. "It will be hard-working Utahns and Americans who will continue to suffer from rising health care costs, a loss of their current coverage choices, and hundreds of billions in new job-killing taxes." Today, the Obama Administration released its regulations implementing portions of the health care law. Under these new rules, 87 million Americans will be forced out of their current health coverage. President Obama has consistently promised that "if you like your plan, you can keep it." Below and attached are the full letter Hatch sent to the President today: • WE DON'T THINKA LACK OF INSURANCE SHOULD KEEP ANYONE FROM BEING SCREENED FOR CANCER. Dear Mr. President, Almost 60 percent of our entire population — or more than 170 million Americans — access their health care through their employers. Despite your pledge that "if you like your plan, you can keep your plan," it is more clear than ever that the employer mandate included in the health law will act as an incentive for employers to drop their coverage and will further serve to increase federal health spending at a time of unsustainable budget deficits. Furthermore, the impact of your Administration's new regulations governing the treatment of existing health plans is deeply disturbing. As a direct result of these new rules, 87 million Americans — or 51 percent of those with employer-provided health care — will be forced out of their current coverage, with small businesses being the most adversely impacted. Employers, both big and small, in Utah and around the nation have repeatedly said that this law will adversely impact their ability to offer health insurance to their employees. For example, Caterpillar recently noted that it could save 70 percent of its health care costs by dropping coverage and paying the penalties while AT&T would see its $2.4 billion cost of coverage decline to just $600 million in penalties. The incentive to drop coverage and simply pay the penalties could not be clearer. This perverse incentive also has a significant impact on federal spending. A recent analysis titled, "Labor Markets and Health Care Reform: New Results," by former Congressional Budget Office Director Douglas Holtz-Eakin, found that the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA; P.L. 111-148) provides strong incentives for employers to "drop employer-sponsored health insurance for as many as 35 million Americans" and "raising the gross cost of the subsidies to roughly $1.4 trillion" in the first 10 years. Unfortunately, your health care promises are inconsistent with this law. It will be hardworking Utahns and Americans who will continue to suffer from rising health care costs, a loss of their current coverage choices, and hundreds of billions in new job-killing taxes. I urge you to work with Congress to discard the disruptive policies in the recentlyenacted health care law, like the employer mandate, in favor of rational approaches that address the fundamental challenge of cost containment and truly ensure that "if you like your plan, you can keep your plan." Sincerely, Orrin G. Hatch, United States Senator Nearly 45,000 American women will die from breast and cervical cancer this year. And the real tragedy is that these deaths could have been prevented.
