Vices could pay for healthcare

Frontpage -> Commentary -> Letters to the Editor -> Vices could pay for healthcare

Written by Sadie Jones

Letter to the Editor;

The government connot run the Post Office, Social Security, Medicare or their own cafeteria. How will they run our health care?

The people that connot afford health care, do they smoke, drink, or gamble? Maybe they could afford health care if they gave these things up.

Why con’t the system we have now be fixed? We’d be saving a lot of money & then the government could put our money back into Social Security.

I am not racist.

One reason we need this health care bill to pass is the insurance companies got
as
out of control as did Wall street and the
big banks there doesn't seem to be any other good suggestions from the right .
