Letter to the Editor

Dear editor, Allegany County citizens,

I'm writing this email in response to a letter written to regional news in the affordable care act while the letter is heartfelt and the story of triumph of a young girl having open heart surgery and by the sounds of it doing well now years later thank God. The underlying message has political tones that however aren't very accurate or true as we all should know the affordable care act was rammed through congress in the middle of the night without a single republican signing off in the bill in fact the speaker of the house democrat Nancy Pelosi didn't even know what was in the bill as she said and I quote " we'll have to see what's in it after we sign it" ,

As all Americans need to know President Trump and Vice President Pence a few weeks ago signed an order protecting preexisting conditions for all Americans. Also, most all private insurances and Medicaid will cover preexisting conditions already.

As a father I’m glad to hear this child is doing well and pray for her continued good health. However, we must all remember the AFA was crippling to small business owners and fined the very people it claims to protect if they didn't take the Obama / Biden medical plan.

So in closing I would encourage voters to get out and vote for Tom Reed and President Trump to keep our nation's healthcare affordable, in the free market and away from government run socialized healthcare that's forces upon our citizens.

Thank you,

Adam Wiech.
