In reference to Robert Kerr’s Feb. 12 letter, “Recover by electing new president,” I can only take so much. Talk about whining with no supporting facts. What socialist policies from Europe? If you are referring to health care, then say so. If you care to take the time to study the health care systems of all the industrialized countries you will find that, in this country, we pay the most for the poorest care.
No other industrialized country bankrupts as many of its citizens over catastrophic health care costs as we do. Call it whatever you like. Hospitals, doctors and health insurance companies in the U.S. have their citizenry by the neck and they have no intention of letting go.
Concentrate your efforts on getting this group of do-nothings called the U.S. Congress (whose approval rating is about 8 percent currently) to start doing the job they were sent to Washington, D.C. to do. Remember, they are supposed to do our (the citizens’) bidding. It’s about time they were made to do so.
