The government does not provide adequate health care for our veterans and troops today. So the government should not offer health care for everyone.

There is a growing problem and I was wondering if you could bring it to the attention of the community.

Jason Murphey seems to have forgotten the scary mess inherited by the president and the drastic measures indicated to get things back on track.

I think of the old adage: “All it takes for evil is for good people to do nothing.” Tue, 14 Jul 2009 20:27:00 +0000 http://www.edmondsun.com/letters/local_story_195202856.html http://www.edmondsun.com/letters/local_story_195202856.html To the Editor: On behalf of the employees of Edmond Medical Center, I would like to say thank you for your thoughtful coverage of the passing of our CEO Tayo Fichtl.

Oklahoma has plenty of water — more than 10 times the amount we use, with the rest just flowing downstream into Arkansas and Texas.
