Letter: Taking away health care amounts to murder

Chris Detrick | The Salt Lake Tribune Advocates for affordable health care rally against the Better Care Reconciliation Act outside of the Wallace Bennett Federal Building Thursday, July 6, 2017.

We, the people our Sens. Orrin Hatch and Mike Lee in theory represent, do not share anywhere near the kind of health care plan they receive, compliments of our tax dollars. They do not deserve and have not earned that “status” free gift from us, while they hold back on any reasonable health care plan for us.

They can resolve their one-sided, selfish, self-serving situation by at least reading Bernie Sanders’ Medicare for All Bill before they vote against it. I realize it’s foolish of me to believe they will ever do that. So, I’m stating my opinion publicly. That being: Millions of less fortunate people than our senators will die from the lack of health care because of them. That amounts to murder. And is no different than the mass murders committed by the dictator, Bashar al-Assad of Syria. How do they sleep nights?
