Letter writer correct about caring for the less fortunate

Walter F. Wegst must be commended for his excellent letter, “Caring country,” that appeared in the Aug. 1 Review-Journal. Mr. Wegst has correctly concluded that, as a “caring country,” the United States of America should foot the bill for health care for legal and truly poor Americans under the condition they can prove they cannot afford the premiums for health insurance, either with or without a pre-existing condition.

I think it would be very helpful in resolving the current health care stalemate in Congress if Senator Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and House Speaker Paul Ryan had the opportunity to read Mr. Wegst’s letter.

I contend that the gas produced by the City Council is worse than anything the common folk could ever think of.

LETTER: Jurors have an easy job in Hunter Biden case

The evidence is crystal clear, compelling and truthful — and there are self-incriminating comments made by Hunter himself. It is a slam dunk.

LETTER: On the Oakland A’s

What are we wasting our money on? There are myriad and better places here to use the money we will save.

But, the only new pipelines needed would be from the desalination plants to the reservoirs or canals.
