To the editor:
I understand that Mr. Obama’s “health care plan” includes the mandatory use of tax dollars for abortions-upon-demand. This is NOT an acceptable provision for many (perhaps a majority) of Americans, including this voting citizen and everyone I can contact.
To the editor:
The recent debate about health care reform is very important for ALL Americans. The path we are now on is not sustainable in future years. Already we pay $700 BILLION a year on health care which does not cover all Americans, can bankrupt middle class families who face a serious illness, and is very expensive for many Americans.
I am concerned because many representatives and senators in the Congress are in the pockets of very powerful lobbies (AMA, pharmaceuticals, health insurance, and hospitals). These lobbies provide them with money to run their very expensive campaigns.
The Catholic Church teaches that couples should not live together before marriage. Some people today might think that teaching is old-fashioned and unrealistic.
Statistics show that over 60 percent of couples in our country cohabit before they get married. It’s obvious that Catholic couples must be numbered among those living together and not following the Church’s dictates.
These cohabiting couples should reconsider their lifestyle. Recent studies have validated the Catholic Church’s teaching and reveal that living together before marriage often does not lead to marital bliss.

Queridos amigos,
El Obispo de Sioux City (Iowa), Monseñor Walker Nickless, ha expresado muy claramente la enseñanza de nuestra Iglesia en cuanto a la reforma de salud (sus observaciones están a continuación). Es urgente que lean esto, considerando que aún no existe una ley, como tal, en el Congreso de Estados Unidos.
