Stand Up to the Republicans!
To the Editor:
My recent writings have focused on the problems in the health care system and why the Democrats don’t seem to be making things any better. It seems that despite their large majority and control in both houses of Congress and the White House have not given them the courage to push for the [...]
On Health Care Reform: Stand up for Your Beliefs!
To the Editor:
Sen. Max Baucus said the public option offered a great opportunity to “hold insurance companies’ feet to the fire”. Then he voted against two amendments that included the public option. Doesn’t make much sense, does it? Well it seems in the political world it does. Apparently, because Sen. Baucus doesn’t believe the Senate [...]
We’re Already Paying for Health Care Reform Anyway
To the Editor:

In the words of Barack Obama, “All of us share this world for but a brief moment in time. The question is whether we spend that time focused on what pushes us apart or whether we commit ourselves to an effort, a sustained effort to find common ground, to focus on the future [...]

Let’s take a look at the main parts of the so called Obama health plan:
“Quality, Affordable & Portable Health Coverage For All” (until we run out of money)

President Obama’s Speech on Healthcare
To the Editor:
President Obama’s healthcare proposal speech ended with additional confusion and a greater division between the parties.

Obama cleared some of the [...]
