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.

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.
