Will GOP submit a health care plan?

speaking clearly and honestly on her behalf.

There has been talk for many years from the GOP about their plan to replace the Affordable Care Act. Remember during the campaign President Trump promised a “great health care” plan that everyone can afford?

Well, where is it? Has anyone seen the details of said plan? No? That’s because there isn’t, and never has been a GOP plan other than to let millions of people lose their health insurance and be left to flounder during a pandemic.

Right now would be a great time for the GOP majority in the Senate to step up and fix the Affordable Care Act instead of trying to destroy it. Millions of recently unemployed hard-working Americans need the peace of mind that comes with affordable, quality health care, just like all our elected officials enjoy.

independence of our nation when such measures threaten our basic rights and freedoms.

“Is anyone there? Does anyone care?” This line, from the musical “1776,” streamed through my mind as I watched the televised Memorial Day concert on May 24. I listened to the heroic stories told by ordinary Americans who accomplished extraordinary feats that ultimately secured future freedoms for the United States and the western world.

Now, those freedoms are being eroded by the socialistic-like tactics of a number of governors who are deciding which establishments can operate and who or what is deemed essential. Such unilateral judgments are destroying small businesses and state economies.

I am appalled at the disinterest of many Americans who are blasé regarding this threat to our basic rights and American freedoms. Will we continue to military-march down the road in robot-like acceptance of all such restrictions, or will we finally say enough is enough and demand a resumption of our rights as Americans to pursue our livelihoods and leisure activities?

May God bless and heal America.

under house arrest due to the coronavirus with his medical risks. It seems to be a purely political decision. Convince me otherwise. Paul Manafort and Michael Cohen were both released from prison due to the threat of the virus. I do not believe either of them has lost a lung like Mr. Pawlowski, who also has a heart condition.

Mr. Pawlowski (or anyone else with similar issues) should be given the same opportunity for release. If Mr. Pawlowski (or anyone with similar issues) does not qualify as a serious medical risk for the coronavirus, then two men wanting a good haircut and a good meal shouldn’t either. No one needs to look that good while under house arrest.
