By the Editorial Board | Charleston (W.Va.) Gazette
Some federal courts are ruling that America's breakthrough 2010 medical reform is kaput because government cannot force people to pay for health insurance. If the historic reform eventually is killed, we hope it leads to a better alternative. We hope America finally joins other advanced democracies by adopting a government-run "single-payer" universal health plan covering every citizen.
By Steven Cotterill | Letters | The Shepherdstown (W.Va.) Chronicle
A more centralized healthcare system, which the healthcare reform act of last year didn't even come close to approaching, no more represents the beginnings of socialism than reading Nietzsche turns you into a nihilist. The one does not lead to the other.
Lynn Moses Yellott | Letter to the Editor | Shepherdstown (W.Va.) Chronicle
Every day, my husband, a physician at a community health clinic, treats people without health insurance who work one and two jobs. He provides the best care he can, but many cannot afford the tests and consultations they need. Some of his patients are among the more than 44,000 people a year in our country who die because they cannot get needed medical care. They deserve to suffer and die?
