LETTER: Don’t knock VA health care

Updated November 4, 2019 - 9:19 pm

In response to the Saturday letter on “Medicare for All” and the VA:

I am a 72-year-old veteran who has only VA medical insurance. Throughout my career, I have worked for several Fortune 500 companies that have great health insurance benefits. But none has been any better than what I receive from the VA. In my experience, the VA doctors make the decisions on treatment, not the government or a profit-minded insurance company.

I would favor Medicare for All. It’s been a privileged health system way too long.

LETTER: Biden ignores the Supreme Court on student loans

Biden is constantly harping on how Trump is a threat to democracy and will be a dictator, eliminating our freedoms. It is Biden, however, who has proven himself the dictator who is threatening democracy.

LETTER: More on 1968

As a cop who was at not only at the 1968 Democratic convention at the Conrad Hilton on Michigan Avenue, but also the Chicago arson fires on the west side, I feel there were many reasons why the city was a tinderbox.

LETTER: Clark County cracks down on street vendors

A lot of us walk or jog in the summer nights when it cools down. The juice vendor was a wonderful break before starting the return half of our exercise. Alas, never more.
