Voting yes on Question 2

Tue, 10/24/2017 - 1:00pm

Dear Editor:

On Nov. 7, I will be voting yes on Question 2, Medicare Expansion. Yes, it will cost money. A great idea if 70,000 people left out never became ill, died, or required emergency room services. How much would that cost? 

A question for those voting no — What if you, or your loved ones, were one of the 70,000? 

Oh, and by the way, perhaps we should change the law requiring emergency rooms to accept all people with medical needs. 

Think about it and vote yes.
