Letter To The Editor: Council’s Action On Health Care
By RICHARD NEBELThis is a response to the County Council’s recent action on health care. I have a couple of chronic conditions that incur medical expenses that are about $3,000/month. Three years ago I didn’t have either of these problems, but when you get older medical issues can show up very quickly. Right now I have Medicare backed up by the Lab’s medical insurance. I don’t have co-pays or deductibles, so it works out well for me.
Since most people in Los Alamos do or did work at the lab, my health care benefits are pretty typical. I don’t want the State of New Mexico to mess that up.
