Editor, News-Register: Thanks to Congressman Mollohan for voting the party line on the health care vote and throwing working West Virginians and the elderly under the proverbial bus. Five hundred billion dollars will be slashed from Medicare so illegal immigrants may get health care with a fake Social Security card. That is all that will be required for them to again cheat the system. Sorry grandmother, but that hip replacement you need will not fall into the fiscal responsibilty test that this bill requires. You will not live long enough for the feds to justify the expense. And those pain meds you take: No way when Ibuprofen better fits the governments idea of fiscal responsibility. Forget jobs! Local employers will close or lay people off rather than provide the staggering health care costs required by this bill. There are fines and jail time laws in this bill, even for you the working man or woman who does not participate. The middle class will suffer from the additional taxes required by this bill. Union workers have “Cadillac” plans and will be taxed for the health care they have. Congressman Mollohan forgot he was a West Virginian and voted like a Washington, D.C., Democrat. Hopefully the Senate will stop this insanity so we can work this bill into a working program. I will remember in 2010 and 2012 what Congress did to the elderly and our working men and women.
