For those who may not be aware, the phrase “You can keep your doctor” has been removed from healthcare. gov website. On a related matter, the Illinois Department of Insurance has submitted requests for Obamacare rate increases ranging from 44 to 55 percent for the lowest cost of bronze, silver and gold health care plans. None of this comes as a surprise to those who appreciate­d the snake oil that was being pushed. Mark Furlong

What is this? Heard Upper Providence Township is beginning to discuss proposed changes to Chapter 135 Township Code meaning property maintenanc­e similar to a homeowners associatio­n. Do not burden us with more tax money. We that maintain our property do not want this. Go out and address the issue to property owners that you receive complaints about or something you may see and try to correct the issue.

Does anyone know where I can register to vote? I live in the Royersford/Limerick area.

To Sanatoga Paul Revere, you’re right. Tom Ridge, John Kerry and John McCain, what have they done for vets and health care and housing for the vets? Has anything changed for the vets since they became politician­s? Kerry’s daughter just got married to some Iranian with tons of money. Check out how poor the three were before they became politician­s and how much they’re worth today. Spring City Vet

Everybody says Donald Trump’s a great businessma­n. I don’t know what you call great — four Casinos in Atlantic City bankrupt, 3,500 lawsuits, Trump University bankruptcy filed for being sued. To me that doesn’t sound like a great businessma­n. Sounds like a loser to me.

I tried to follow the letter “H” indicated on Hillary’s campaign logo but it took me to the nearest hospital. It worked out though. They’re treating me for temporary insanity. Martha

Donald Trump said he regrets saying those stupid things. He didn’t apologize and he didn’t say he was sorry or even that he was ashamed of what he said. He just regrets saying them because of the slipping poll numbers. I guess maybe he found out he can’t shoot somebody and then lose one vote like he was so fond of saying.

If you are a messy eater, I suggest using Dawn dish washing liquid in the shower as the label reads “removes stuck-on food in seconds.” Jim Fitch

This is to the person who wrote to Concerned Senior Citizen about the end of the worst economic crisis. Have you people ever heard of the Great Depression under Hoover, the recession under Eisenhower, the stock market crash under George Bush? Where do you people get your misinforma­tion about history? Housing is up, unemployme­nt is down, stock market is up mostly. I mean let’s get serious. The Beast

Are there any organizati­ons that take old bicycles to refurbish for kids?

Dr. Tribbett, just a reminder that the people at National Penn aren’t the only ones in Boyertown that lost their jobs because of greed. Several others did too and I don’t know where you got the amount for the total empty parking spots. Just A Boyertown Observer

This is to the person who wants to know about Hillary Clinton’s clothes. You must be a pure Republican. Well let’s talk about Donald Trump’s clothes — ties from China, shirts from Bangladesh, God knows where his suits come from. True Democrat

Immigrants, we came in legally. We came for freedom not free stuff. We became real Americans. We learned English. A Voice From The Past

This is in response to Jim Dandy saying that President Obama and his wife attended many flag burning ceremonies in the past. Not only did he not say that, he wasn’t even on “Meet the Press” on that date. You can’t believe everything you read online. Don’t believe any emails you get regarding this. You can Google it and prove that he wasn’t even on that episode that particular day; it was Jo Biden and he never said any such thing.

When you have a president and Democratic party more concerned about the gender of using which toilet than how we are going to stop terrorists from entering our nation, that’s when you know your nation is run by the useful idiots Saul Alinsky spoke about. Dr. Jumbo

As a registered Democrat I have finally come to realize that time after time the Clintons are above the law. It’s time for me to give the Trump a chance. He certainly can’t be worse than Hillary.
