Dear Senator Nelson:
Your argument that “the devil is in the details” fails to list the kind of “details” that make health care unaffordable for America. One detail is the traitorous, wimpy, back-stabbing politicos willing to finance business interests at the expense of those they are elected to represent.

Many of us have read stories about the cunning of a red fox trying to outwit his animal brothers and sisters. Despite their looks of long, thin faces and yellow eyes, contributing in part to their crafty reputations; in real life, red foxes are more concerned with finding food than with playing tricks on anyone.
I do not think that any health care insurance including Medicare should be a money-making product. I cannot accept the large profits that are made on the backs of the Government and Medicare recipients by private insurance companies.
An example is Humana’s second quarter profits of $281.8 million. How much do they pay their management? How much money are they paying for advertising including useless notices and brochures?
EDGEWATER, Fla. -- I was playing a game online the other day and looked over at the chat area to see what my progress was and saw this: “I grew up from Oregon and been lived in Idaho 21 years now.” It is such an affront to proper English that I looked at the person’s profile and found that the writer was a 46-year-old man.
I recently watched the documentary “Safe Haven, The Warsaw Zoo,” produced by New Smyrna Beach High School teacher Richard Lester with his son Gary (as director) and Edgewater resident Charlie Carlson. If you never heard of it or haven’t seen it, I suggest you go to www.IDBM.com and watch it. The film is not long but tells a riveting tale of the Warsaw Jews when the Germans took over Poland.
EDGEWATER, Fla. -- I was so happy to read that the children of the low IQ woman are finally in the process of being returned to her.
I remember coming to America from Italy. It was 1931, 79 years ago and I was 6 years old I remember passing the Statue of Liberty and seeing people with tears in their eyes entering New York Harbor, embarking at Ellis Island.
My mom, my sister, and I hugged each other crying, so happy to be in America after waiting two years. We thanked God for our safe journey.

The Halifax Sport Fishing Club held its annual ladies tournament – Bruce Tippins put his wife, Connie on the first-place dolphin, which weighed 26.7 pounds. Angela King got first place Wahoo overall winner, and Susan Cloer landed the largest kingfish.
The junior angler award went to Kaitlyn Bumpass. With the good weather recently, the dolphin bite offshore remained quite hot with many fish weighing up to 40 pounds being brought to the dock.

The weather this past week has not been conducive for fishing anywhere, but in the nearest local aquarium. The Fish Stock tournament had a major disappointment due to the terrible weather including the nearly 20 inches of rain that we experienced, adding to a record drenching for May.
