To The Editor:

Shame on Sen. Max Baucus, Democrat of Montana.

His plan gives the average family no health care relief from being grossly over charged at every turn.

It was very considerate of him to provide a new market for the insurance companies to rip off. Those with pre-existing conditions! Months of work with no real progress for reform.

Our prime need is still price controls of insurance companies. Sen. Bill Nelson must realize this is so important to his electorate.

Millions of words could be said here and in Congress but voters must demand solutions that meet their needs.

We need healthcare reform now.

We need the public option for price controls.

We need affordable coverage for all.
