To the editor: I like studying contributing writers Veronique de Rugy and Matt Ok. Lewis, considerate commentators I typically disagree with and all the time be taught from. However this week, they make assertions that get beneath my pores and skin.
De Rugy applauds using well being financial savings accounts (“The ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ got one thing right,” July 10). In accordance with her, they permit folks to manage their very own well being choices. I say they’re one other strategy to cover the cracks in our insufficient healthcare system. Lewis calls “Medicare for all” “unworkable” (“Will Democrats find an anti-Trump to galvanize the left?,” July 11). That’s humorous. It really works properly for many people over 65. So why is it unworkable for everyone else?
So many people watch these heartbreaking TV commercials for Shriners and St. Jude’s youngsters’s hospitals. That these establishments have to beg for donations is a horrible indictment of our healthcare system. Shouldn’t each citizen have healthcare without any consideration? That’s the best way it’s performed in each different developed nation on the planet, with prices far lower than what we pay and with superior outcomes.
It’s well beyond time for common healthcare.
