I was disappointed that the Star-Advertiser printed the propaganda masquerading as an op-ed by Dean Clancy (“In shutdown, Obamacare is just a political ploy against GOP,” Insight, Oct. 26). It would be fair to debate the pros and cons of the “big beautiful bill,” but not with his lies, distortions and obfuscations. For starters, Democrats do not want to provide free health care to illegal immigrants. Also, the Medicaid “reforms” he refers to are cuts, pure and simple. And the bill doesn’t provide tax cuts to families, but to rich people and corporations. National debt increases will force mandatory cuts to Medicare. “Some will have to pay more for their coverage. Many will choose not to re-enroll … ” because they’ll be unable to jump through all the hoops. That’s where the money comes from to fund all those tax cuts. It’s the GOP offering the scam. It’s time they propose a real health care system, instead of cutting what currently works. >> Contact: 529-4831 (phone), letters@staradvertiser.com, staradvertiser.com/editorial/submit-letter
