I would like to express my appreciation of Congressman Joe Donnelley’s vote to support legislation to reform health insurance. This is a beginning step on the road of providing common sense solutions to the real economic problems that many Hoosier’s face.

My family is impacted every month by the rising costs and lowering coverage provided by our insurance coverage — to the point that it’s almost ridiculous to maintain insurance that has become, basically, really expensive catastrophic coverage.

I think that it was quite courageous for Congressman Donnelly to stand against the wave of powerful insurance industry lobbyists and stand for the working families of Indiana.

Thank you Congressman Joe Donnelly.

Insurance mandate violates religious freedoms
The Health and Human Services mandate requiring employers to carry insurance that covers contraceptives, including surgical sterilization and abortifacients, requires Christian schools and charitable and medical organizations to violate their conscience or face fines of $2,000/employee. This forces Christian organizations to either close down or violate the mandate.

Justice if different in Elkhart County
A warning to the uninformed: there is justice and there is Elkhart County justice, and any resemblance between the two is largely coincidental.

Donations can help house families
I read with concern the headline in The Goshen News on Wednesday. Our Goshen Housing Authority needs $571,050 to continue the local rent assistance voucher program and avoid slashing services. That is over half a million dollars. Coming up with that large an amount seems hopeless. The related article went on to say that 71 households with 126 children could be directly affected by this shortfall. That is $8,043 per family unit or $4,532 per child.
