William G. Horter – 5/22/08

Revamp health care in U.S.; William G. Horter; Beaver County Times; May 22, 2008.

When Mr. Horter isn’t bashing Republicans in general, and President Bush specifically, he tries to push a taxpayer-funded, government-run healthcare system on U.S. citizens. Tellingly, Mr. Horter describes his proposal simply as “not-for-profit” instead of taxpayer-funded, government-run. It’s for the same reason the pro-abortion camp refers to itself as “pro-choice.”

This is Mr. Horter’s second letter on this topic in three weeks. I’ve addressed Mr. Horter’s talking points at http://www.TheBirdsEyeView.us/healthcare.htm and in previous critiques, so I’ll forego a detailed critique of this letter.

History also shows you need to do your own due diligence regarding the “facts” Mr. Horter presents in his letters and the comments he posts on the Times website. Here’s just one example. Further, if you follow Mr. Horter’s comments on the Times website, you’re aware he continues to use his faux facts even after they’ve been unmasked as bogus. Decide for yourself what that says of Mr. Horter and the positions he supports. That’s why I’m not going to waste my time addressing the alleged facts in the letter.

Along with other letter writers I’ve mentioned, I wish Mr. Horter could get a regular column in the Times.
