Letter: Digging deeper

August 09, 2012 12:00 AM
In response to 'Affordable Health Care: What it means for you' (8/7), I was disappointed to see one more article on “Obamacare” that only scratched the surface of this law. It seems the news media, including The Universe, doesn’t want to take the time to drill down to the many facets of this law that will destroy this nation. There are so many other areas outside of healthcare affected by this disastrous law that America is not being informed on. I would challenge The Universe and other news reporting agencies to read the whole law — and that alone may take months — and report all of the legislation in it. Then Americans can make an informed decision as to its credibility.
