America needs a health plan

I feel U.S. Sen. Claire McCaskill didn't deserve the verbal beating up handed out by the letter from Joe and Jena Koch.

I know I will be happy when people with pre-existing conditions can be treated. There is a need for a health care bill.

Who's ears are closed? Do you not watch "60 Minutes" and "20/20" to know the current health care system has not worked for a long time now?

The greatest thing about America is freedom. If you don't want an abortion, don't get one. I never had to get one, but I wouldn't have wanted that option taken from me.

McCaskill was elected after people saw what was happening when George W. Bush was elected. It was time for a change. And change we got. McCaskill and Barack Obama were elected.
