Sign up for Obamacare

Welcome to the party, Laverne Sullivan (“The same health plan” – April 11 letter). She described Obamacare. All federal employees and elected officials pay for their health care benefits.

I have been a federal employee for more than 40 years, and select my plan choice every year, as well as my health care provider. We can change every year. We have opted to pay for a plan this year amounting to $450, and no co-pays for office visits.

Yes, she deserves just that, so sign up. She will be very happy. The naysayers are for protecting big business, not her!
