Controversial issues:
As a
community we need to be able to talk openly about
matters that affect the quality of our lives. The
most effective and least offensive manner to get
your point across is to stick to the issue
and refrain from commenting on another person's
opinion. Letters that deviate from focusing on the
issue may be rejected or edited and marked as such.

 To the editor:When I was a
farm kid back in the 1950s, I remember my parents' anxiety about our
family's lack of health insurance. We just couldn't afford it.
Now the 2021 American Rescue Plan, passed by Congress with
absolutely no Republican support, has made health insurance free for
millions more people while reducing health insurance costs for
others. Working together, President Biden and Democratic legislators
expanded subsidies for people buying their own insurance on
Affordable Care exchanges.
There's even more good news. People who lost their jobs but want to
keep their former employer's health insurance also may get help.
[to top of second column in this letter] |
If you don't qualify for group health insurance
elsewhere, the federal government will now copay your COBRA premiums
for up to six months.
We can all be glad that, under President Joe Biden and a Democratic
Congress, many more Americans have access to affordable health
insurance.
