President Barack Obama’s health care law requires everyone to buy health insurance. I am wondering if that is way out of line.

How can people who have lost so much from jobs and work being sent abroad come up with money to buy insurance? Many of them lost not only jobs, but also their homes and have had to live on the streets.

To live on the street, beg for a place to stay overnight or longer — and expected to buy insurance for their families? How? How does the president hope they should explain their loss of dignity to their children and their peers?

Do they, the millionaire politicians, have an answer for the many, all over the world, who are being degraded for their actions? And now I hear some politicians want to get rid of Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security?

Didn’t we pay into Social Security out of every check we got from working?

How many millions of children, grandchildren and, yes, great-grandchildren will have to pay for the trillions of dollars that are added to the country’s debt?

I am proud of my country and proud to be an American, in the God we trust. But, God, we really need to have the Constitution not torn apart by people who aren’t right in their thinking, actions or their commitment to this country.

True Americans should hold their heads up high; get out and vote to reclaim the nation and bring it back to where it belongs.
