Redefining freedom in D.C.

Redefining freedom in D.C.

EDITOR:

One could not help but be impressed with the words of U.S. Rep. Tim Ryan last week. On Monday he was quoted, “In 2009, we need to redefine freedom, and freedom in America in 2009 means being healthy and having access to a health care system that isn’t just for the elite but it’s for everybody.” On Friday he was quoted, “A strong Forum Health system is valuable to our community, and we have an obligation to keep it operational.”

He says these things knowing he was never granted the right to redefine freedom or to keep a private company operational. It must be something in the D.C. drinking water.
