Mark Magnussen and Cletis Neal smear Rep. Gerry Connolly as a puppet and hypocrite for his votes on the health care bill (News & Messenger, Nov. 21).
They appear to be part of an organized letter-writing campaign by local right-wingers against Rep. Connolly — short on substance and long on rhetoric.
The health care bill is the most complex legislation that Congress has ever dealt with. Childish name-calling enlightens no one. At the end of the day, there will likely be a national
health care program.
The legislation will not please everyone. But the fact remains today — the current system is broken and contributing to higher costs when people need to resort to the emergency
room for their primary care. The reality is that decent health care has become a right, not a luxury. Also, how do we protect children who are insured in an environment where many
are not insured? And do those of us with insurance really want to live in an environment in which millions of others do not?
