Just like poverty, discrimination, or a lack of educational opportunities, we are all impacted when any one among us is denied access to adequate health care. Thank you, Rep. Visclosky, for standing up for those who, through no fault of their own, are unable to secure appropriate levels o…

Instead of taking care of their own citizens, I find it telling that the Mexican government has the time and resources to train Americans to counsel illegal aliens at St. Mary church in East Chicago. Since when did the Mexican government have such an intimate understanding of American l…

The Democrats are planning to pay for Obamacare partially by cutting hundreds of billions of dollars from Medicare. They plan to reduce Medicare overpayments so that Supplemental Medicare picks up the slack. You would think that they would realize that Supplemental Medicare insurers will …

Imagine the scenario if seniors did not have Medicare. Many would receive minimal medical care when they needed it the most in their final years. They would have to continue to work until they became totally incapacitated. They would not have anything of value to pass on to their relative…

I was an employee of a large national company. In 2006 when I get laid off, I lost both income and health insurance. Although there was a COBRA program, it cost more than $600 a month. It was theoretically available but practically not. We need health insurance reform.

I'm glad that U.S. Sen. Evan Bayh, D-Ind., won't side with Republican obstructionists in a filibuster of health care reform. After all, a recent poll shows most Hoosiers want a public option (including 85 percent of all Democrats and 59 percent of all independents). Also, official reports…
