Obamacare: It’s Not An Entitlement [Intelligencer Journal (Lancaster, PA)]

TO THE EDITORS:

I was disgusted by the language used by your reporter, Karen Shuey, in the story in which she refers to Obamacare as "a new health-insurance entitlement program."

I am aware that Lancaster County is a primarily Republican-based area, but the newspaper needs to be reporting without appearing biased.

I, myself, am not a fan of Obamacare simply because it allows insurance companies to remain in business, and we need fully socialized medicine.

But it's a step in the right direction.

As someone who used to be a volunteer EMT, I've seen enough times how people refused to get medical care for relatively minor problems due to inability to pay.
