Thank God and Democrats for Medicaid

To the Editor:

How can anyone call themselves a Christian and support President Trump and his Republican cronies in Congress who are willing to send thousands of people to their deaths?

There are two places these “warm-hearted, compassionate, family-value, evangelical” hypocrites need to visit. One is the Duke Children’s Hospital located in Durham, North Carolina. The other is the Brenner Children’s Hospital located in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.

Are these cold-hearted people saying they don’t have any problem putting these pitiful, sickly, beautiful children under a gravestone?

Thanks to the grace of God, good doctors, and great staff members at these two hospitals, our family now has a healthy 10-year-old.

Thank God and the Democrats for Medicaid.

We don’t plan to change that model. Support from our readers will help us maintain and strengthen the editorial independence that is crucial to our mission to help make Western North Carolina a better place to call home.
