Keep prejudice out of voting process
The 2016 U.S. presidential election should be a unifying initiative. America is great, and if itwere not, the rest of theworld wouldn’t be risking their lives to come here.
My father lived under Hitler’s daily hateful rhetoric for 8 years, and spent two years in two concentration camps. He fled to the U.S. as a refugee sailing into New York City harbor, past the Statue of Liberty, onApril 8, 1940. He eventually became an American citizen. He helped make this country great as a refugee by creating multiple businesses that ended up employing over 100 people.
Wehavenoroomin this country orworld for another Hitler. Just remember that we have had more homegrown terrorism in this country than foreign terrorism. Remember Timothy McVeigh and the Oklahoma City bombing on April 19, 1995? Use your intelligence and not your prejudice when casting your vote! Remove health care hurdles
Yes, we can’t ignore the heroin epidemic, but asanaddiction specialist, I face the daily struggle to treat those affected by the disease of opioid addiction. Doctors like me have to fill out online interrogatories to persuade insurance companies to pay for life-saving medication assisted treatments, obtain authorization for necessary behavioral and cognitive counseling sessions, which are often delayed by the insurance bureaucracy.
Physicians like me are also being told to restrict the number of patientswe can treat. Facing an epidemic, it’s unconscionable to set such limits! These hurdles need to be removed to make it easier for those seeking care to gain access to certified and qualified health care professionals of their choice. Abortion debate will roll on
As a citizen of the United States it is easy to seehowa touchy subject such as abortion can take time to sift through. The idea that there is one right answer is a ludicrous thought.
The fact of the matter is that you will never please everyone, andwhenstrides are made toward a legislative decision, people will be there to protest the decision, no matter the political stand point that isshowcased. With the amountof time that is taken to reach a decision, should we trust the people in placemaking these lawsor should we protest when we feel an injustice has happened? There really is no right answer. Oyster report a success
Regarding the Sun Sentinel’s piece “The Gulf’s Deadly Harvest,” congratulations on an extremely well researched and accurately reported story that needed to be told. You definitely succeeded in doing what weak legislators (susceptible to economic backlash) were unable to do — make the public aware of the real-life death risks that are inherent in eating raw fish. Finally, the industry itself will logically mandate that strict adherence to common sense rules be enforced. Good job.
