It just seems to me that extreme reactions are becoming the norm, like this letter to the editor. They are not helpful and inaccurate in their extreme assessment of everything.
I too am a progressive and am not happy with how Obama has handled some things. But at least I would try to be more factual and give Obama credit for some things. Saying that Obama’s healthcare plan is “counterproductive and making things worse” an example of this. The Affordable Care Act has set us on a path of making health care available to all people. No other president has been able to do this. It is true that along this path there will problems and further revisions and at this point healthcare costs are increasing. But we have been set on the right path of including everyone first. Compare what is happening in Texas with what is happening in Massachusetts. They are both works in progress. In Texas a race to the bottom leaving out more and more people and in Massachusetts slow but steady movement to better and affordable healthcare to all…
