Letter Of The Day

Old-timers would say the current health system in the United States is “cattywampus.” If you hope to switch health insurance companies to get a savings on premiums, you are out of luck.

A new insurance company will exclude coverage on any pre-existing conditions.

So you are stuck with your existing insurance company, who knows it has you by the throat. Your existing company knows you cannot switch and get coverage so it continues to strangle you with escalating premiums.

I have never been a fan of governmental interference in commerce, but something must be done.

The very people who built this great country are being trampled on by insurance companies. Is anyone listening?
— Philip Schneider, West Des Moines.
