Wingfield letter: Obamacare

Just got my quote for my Part B health insurance for 2016. The increase is 46 percent. Thanks to our government, who all got a cost of living increase, free insurance and fully funded retirement payed for by the taxpayers. The government has determined that we seniors drawing Social Security don’t need a cost of living increase. It is time that the Executive Branch and Congress all have the same retirement and medical program as the rest of us. If they don’t like it, I suggest that they get a job in the private sector. Any and all legislation passed by government should apply equally to all, voters and politicians. I suggest we stop electing incumbents, otherwise nothing will change.
