Letters to the Editor

Health care law is flawed

The letter “a moral obligation to promote common good” (July 15) has a few missing pieces. The writer fails to mention the tired old partisan politics of a president in regards to healthcare reform without tort reform. There are no caps on what lawyers can demand, which have driven costs. He is a lawyer; excusable since a fox is not expected to guard the hen house. Why do Congress and the president have a different health plan?

Who says we are not educating right now? Humans bring an emotional component to healthcare. Significant numbers do not stop smoking even when suffering. How does preventative care work for drug and alcohol addiction? If people were robots, it would work to warn them as children and then no one would fall into the abyss. Is it possible even with education that humans can be rebellious for immediate gratification or live in denial that this will not happen to me, I am strong?

Why mention the U.S. Catholic bishops without mentioning that this law provides for the killing of unborn children (future women)? How do you propose to ‘tweak’ an intrinsic evil? With this law, there are fewer babies left to throw out with the bath water.

This law bans freedom of conscience for doctors, nurses and pharmacists. Those who regard aspects of this law as murder will be discriminated against.

Concurrent with these problems is the reality of people who are providing for their children who do need affordable care.

There is a drive to repeal this law because there is a huge human component that is not being addressed correctly by lawyers. This manipulation smacks of a totalitarian state.
