This week, we asked readers: Should the government be able to cancel someone’s health insurance over suspected fraud before the case is individually reviewed?
Here’s what they had to say…
“Definitely not! This is another example of the current administration’s policy of using a shotgun to kill a mosquito. Health care is a life and death issue and should be handled on a case-by-case basis as much as possible. If we weren’t involved in an illegal war and an illegal and unconstitutional ICE campaign, we might have the time and money to give our citizens affordable and adequate health care.” — JoAnn Carlson
“NO! I believe that everyone deserves the right to healthcare if they live or on this soil. There is a thing called due process that it seems as though a certain party, which I will not mention, does not believe in. This is a very sad state of affairs as to what this country has become.” — Charles Wetzel
“The government should NOT be able to cancel anyone’s health insurance over suspected fraud before an individual review. It is incomprehensible to me how this administration seems to be doing everything in its power to create an unwell society, from the damaging steps taken by the EPA to the slashing of subsidies on the Affordable Care Act, and so many other examples. Health care should be available to everyone without going into debt. A good way to save money would be to stop spending it on things like wars, ballrooms, and arches.” — Jane Duggan
“Normally I would say ‘yes,’ but in the age of ICE and a government that has no moral center, I would say that the claim of fraud would need to be proved before someone loses health insurance!”— N. Cook
