Letters to the editor – We need common sense care, know the costs

Direct Primary Care is a great concept and radical departure from corporatized health care and health insurance companies.

It definitely provides the opportunity for more relaxed office visits and increased access for those willing to pay for it. The problem DPC needs to solve is getting insurance companies to carve out the DPC fees and services from their premiums so patients can realize a net cost savings. Otherwise, it is hard to see how DPC will save rather than increase one's out-of-pocket health care costs; for example, $2,200 per year for a retired couple.

McCarthy, 415 / Election Deniers, 20

This would be a win for McCarthy, but more importantly, a win for America that would provide solid evidence that Democrats place Country over Party.

In addition, it would diminish what has been a large number 20 to a more appropriate tiny number 20.
