My view on health care

The Norman Transcript

NORMAN — Editor, The Transcript:

Is it just me or does anyone else think something is terribly wrong? After reading the report on our governor, Mary Fallin, that was in the paper on Nov. 14, 2012, I can’t get it out of my mind.

The people of the United States voted to have the Affordable Health Care Act, that was approved by Congress and affirmed by the U.S. Supreme Court.

Our governors of this United States of America seem to be acting like a bunch of children throwing tantrums. I thought we had an adult in the highest office of our state, but she has proven to me that it is not so. What makes her think that she does not have to obey the law of the land?

She is here to serve her people and for the last 4 years, she has done nothing to get prepared.

To bet on a change in the White House and repeal of the health care is no excuse. I think she deserves a big fat “F.”

    Editor, The Transcript: When it comes to unmitigated gall, the Republican Party has no equal. Take the current Benghazi hearings, for example. This is nothing but a political charade aimed at the 2014 election and Hillary Clinton’s ...

  • John Tullius’ cartoon is wrong about education

    Editor, The Transcript: John Tullius’ last Saturday cartoon has jumped up and stepped right on my toes, along with, I suspect, the toes of teachers and school personnel all over town: “Growing up — we learned good morals, values and ...

  • What hope for our humanity’s predicament?

    Editor, The Transcript: Well, what is it, this “predicament” of ours, our humanity’s? What’s behind or underneath this predicament, this predication, this saying before or is it a “before saying?” Ah, that might be getting closer to what ...

  • Women can’t be at the front in Catholic church

    Editor, The Transcript: Kathryn Jean Lopez’s editorial, “Women to the front,” made me scratch my head. Since it was about the Catholic Church, she must know that Catholic women can’t be at the front. They cannot be priests, bishops or ...
