Doing nothing isn’t an option

Doing nothing isn’t an option

EDITOR:

I believe every American should have access to affordable health care.

The only way that will happen is an overhaul of the health care system. As the wife of a Medicare recipient, and an impending recipient myself, I do not believe there will be “death panels,” nor will Medicare become less effective. In its current state, Medicare is in very real danger of becoming extinct. Not only is Medicare in danger, but so also is the medical coverage of the population as a whole.

Reform must be taken seriously and dealt with. Like all Americans, I don’t want the system to break this country, but to do nothing will certainly break this country.
