Letter: Health care proposal is immoral

By
Published:

On Thursday, the Republican cabal in D.C. demonstrated their disdain for life. Sure, they oppose abortion because it gets them a lot of dependable votes. Unfortunately, once someone becomes a breathing human being there is no concern whether one lives or dies.

Trump/McConnell’s stealth anti-health care bill demonstrates this. There is an enormous reduction in Medicaid. This is the largest and most important support system for families, the poor and young. Children on breathing tubes, elderly in care facilities and the disabled will now fight for scraps to survive. Many will die much sooner. Pro-life is a lie; at best it is pro-birth.

It is time to fulfill our universal religious values to protect and defend the old, the infirm and the weak. Make these evil people explain why these deaths are necessary to give tax cuts to the wealthy and corporations.
