Editor,

A silly letter from “Fred Wilferth” regarding Obamacare demands a reply. Having finally realized that they can’t face the flack for eliminating Obamacare, Republicans have decided to kill it instead by making it unaffordable. Premiums are rising over 100% in most areas. People can’t afford the rise, and many will be forced to drop insurance for their families. That is a very big deal, but from his Facebook profile, “Fred” looks like he probably gets 100% subsidized health care (Medicare), so that might explain why he doesn’t care.

I put his name in quotes because “Fred Wilferth” appears to be a made up person with one friend, “John White”, who also appears bogus and shares the same profile picture as “Fred.” Twins? Doubt it.
