Letter to the editor:

Remember alleged ‘death panels’?

Please, seniors, do not believe the scare tactics of the GOP, and especially the Tea Party, concerning Medicare and health insurance.

Many of you were frightened by their claim of “death panels” several years ago.

Even recently one congressman suggested, after undergoing heart surgery, that if the ACA had been in effect, he probably would not have been able to have the necessary surgery. Ridiculous!

I am 83 years old and recently had my pacemaker replaced without any problem.

No death panels asking if I “deserved” to get the lifesaving device replaced.
