Innovative Initiative to Extend Health Care

Baltimore Sun Letter to the Editor April 29, 2003.

Presidential candidate Rep. Richard A. Gephardt should be commended for his recently announced plan to offer health care coverage to some of the 41 million Americans currently without health insurance by eliminating the Bush tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans (“Gephardt calls for repeal of Bush tax cuts,” April 24).

If they had shown as much imagination and dedication to the poorest among us while they held the reins of power, the Democrats might still be the majority party today.
