Jack Heinsius: In a world of ‘we’ against ‘me,’ decent health care wins

Re “Healthy wins at national, state levels” (Opinions, June 26): Great question posed at the end of editorial regarding the Supreme Court and California legislature health care decisions. What’s going on when we have to defend decent health care?

Maybe the answer is too much “my” and too little “our” – my taxes, my health, my guns, my water! My goodness, that “one nation” thing apparently isn’t working for some of us. Happy Fourth!

Jack Heinsius, Modesto
