Dean Heller a disappointment on Obamacare

Our esteemed U.S. Sen. Dean Heller opposes all attempts to correct the Affordable Care Act. Why did we elect this man — and yes, sadly, I must admit to having voted for him — to represent us? I guess he’s in favor of the government forcing all people to buy health coverage or face fines enforced by the IRS.

He’s also in favor of small companies having to provide health coverage for employees or being penalized. He’s for taxes on medical devices, which increases the ultimate costs to those in need of them.

He also is supporting the out-of-control future expansion of Medicaid instead of placing limits on its future growth before it bankrupts our country.

Sen. Heller is not representing the hard-working, taxpaying U.S. citizens who elected him. Who is he working for?

LETTER: Columbia kids need to learn to pay their own way

Frankly, if I had kids at Columbia who participated in these “protests,” I’d yank them out of school, toss their stuff onto the lawn and tell them to get a job, go live in the real world and pay your own way.

LETTER: Here’s the real threat to democracy

In the 2020 election, Mr. Biden ran on promises he has failed to keep. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

LETTER: No need for an SOS on Social Security

The functional reality is that members of Congress need to keep Social Security alive or they will be voted out of office.
