Grandkids bring hope

Tue., June 7, 2016

Thanks to Cris Currie for the piece “How to fix the cost of health care (May 28).” It’s a comprehensive and lucid description of the causes and remedies of high health care costs. It’s also extremely well-written.

All of our lives would be so much easier if we weren’t so cowered by our entrenched and inflexible attitudes. I’m optimistic, though, because I think the younger generation embraces replacing what doesn’t work with obvious common sense solutions.

I am looking forward to the time my grandkids and yours are making the decisions.
