Public servant

Vermont's U.S. Congressman Peter Welch tried his hand at Springfield Family Center volunteering on Saturday, helping to serve up a noontime community meal.

  4. No, Peter's just doing his best to distract from the Obamacare disaster that will eventually do all these seniors in. A nice "last meal" for them all before Obamacare curtails their ability to access the care they need and sends them to the great beyond.

  5. Actually Peter is taking her dinner away from her. The Affordable Care Act contains provisions for panels to decide who receives care and who won't. Unfortunately this lady lost and Peter felt it would be a waste of food to allow her to continue to eat.

  6. Anonymous, what do you have for health care coverage? Because I was a union member for 28 years, mine is pretty sweet-- Medicare A and B, maybe D as well, plus continuation of my plan purchased while I was employed, plus a dental plan.

    Obamacare, while being a revenue source for private insurers, is a blessing for people with pre-existing conditions and too young for Medicare, and a savior in the wings for those under-40's who are going to suffer a tragic accident or illness. Our Green Mountain Care, the single-payer to start in 2017, will have you and your family insured year-round even if you lose your job.

    1. We all can't be "Union" members and if we were there wouldn't be anyone left to pay for your "benefits".

      You make it sound so sweet "a savior in the wings". hahaha.

      Take take take, but where does it all come from?

      Print print print. That'll last for-e-ver...for-e-ver...for-e-ver.

    2. And best of all, it will all be FREE! Unless, of course, you are middle class and have a job, in which case you will be paying massive additional taxes to pay for the completely unaffordable "Green Mountain Care" boondoggle that is coming in 2017. Remember, we keep hearing how "popular" Romneycare is with the residents of Massachusetts....but what the media doesn't tell you is that the cost of that program is a ticking financial timebomb.The bureaucrats and politicians in MA never figured out how to pay for it, and the bill simply hasn't come due yet. The same reality will also bite all of us with Obamacare and "Green Mountain Care".

    3. Chuck, you are such a tool for the left. Just can't resist a swipe at the insurance companies, can you? Re: "Obamacare, while being a revenue source for private insurers..." Guess what, machine tools were a "revenue source" for the shops and ultimately paid for your tidy "union bennies", too.
