Letter: Beware of myths about health care

Conservative is too nice of a word to use on some

You may find me in Webster’s with a close look at politically liberal. If the tea partiers would use the dictionary they could not only improve themselves, they could use correct spelling in their signs. Conservative is too nice of a word to use on some. I took an oath to the Constitution over 50 years ago and there is no reason for the end of my oath.

A problem liberals have is that some people do not care enough for their own and their families’ health and economics to read and understand any of the health care bills. That does not stop them from spreading many myths.

As a group, Republicans are making up many myths. They do not stop with myths about health care and President Barack Obama. Myths are most harmful to our government. Factcheck and other good sources call them myths. There is another word, but myth is something foolish people often want to believe over the truth. I have put a lot of time looking and no Republican has come close to an accurate description of the bills for health care.

For sure, Democrats did not get the health care message out. Sen. Bayh was no help getting the message out.

I have had Medicare for over 20 years and it is one of the best government programs. In my opinion, Medicare for all would be the best. Medicare is not free to the patient but very reasonable. Doctors would be able to doctor and this would greatly reduce the doctors’ administrative problems.
