Seven hundred million dollars to Africa? From President Bush! (Feb. 18)

No. That is taxpayer money. Taxpayers in the United States are now funding Africa’s health care.

While U.S. citizens continue to support the lavish lifestyles of multi-millionaire for-profit health insurance company executives who are paid to not provide medical care, $700 million of our tax money is blithely handed to the citizens of another country for their health care needs. That must stop. U.S. citizens’ tax money must be used for U.S. citizens.
