No Feds In Health Care
To The Editor:

We hear about the fact that many people do not have health insurance.

Supposedly 47-50 million Americans lack health insurance. About half of [them] are not covered by health insurance for less than four months on average. Some 17 million [who are] without insurance [earn] more than $50,000 annually [and] simply decide not to purchase it. The total also includes perhaps 10 million non-citizens, many of whom are in this country illegally. There are also about 10 million Americans who lack long-term access to healthcare coverage.

The government is part of the cause of the high cost of health care. They require so many regulations that it drives the cost up. Inflation, which is deficit spending by the federal government, causes all prices to go up.

The federal government has no right to be involved in health care or any other power that is not listed in the United States Constitution. Very truly yours, Janet McCarthy Flushing
