Health care law
In “Health Law Impact”
[Opinion], Rep. Eric Cantor
warns AARP members that
under the new health care
law costs will go up. Isn’t this
because amendments designed
to control cost increases, most
memorably the “public option,”
were stripped from the pro-
posed legislation by Republi-
cans like Rep. Cantor?

In the Know ;
it one way or the other. The same
might be said of the legislators
who rushed it into law.
So forgive those of us who
are reluctant to swallow all the
platitudes and reassurances
being tossed our way about how
everything is going to be OK
once we find out what is actu-
ally in the bill. Buying “a pig in
a poke” is not good business or
good government.

In “Megaphones on the Midway,”
editor Jim Toedtman is correct in
his assessment that most people
don’t know enough about the
health care reform legislation to
make an informed decision about
Puzzle pleasures
My 6-year-old grandson and I
had a great time with the “Save
Dough” Alpha Sudoku: He did
the puzzle and then we talked
about old-fashioned slang. We
made up a double-meaning say-
ing: Save your dough and you’ll
have plenty of bread.

COURTESY BROWN FAMILY
‘Found’ money
Sid Kirchheimer is 100 percent correct in encouraging every-
one to check for their “missing” money online or by calling
their state or city treasury [“Your ‘Missing’ Money Awaits
You,” In the News].
Two years ago I checked the
websites he cited and found a
substantial amount of money in
my deceased father’s name that
had been deposited with the Dis-
trict of Columbia by a life insur-
ance company. The money came
from a policy that his mother
had taken out on him in 1914 (of
which he had no knowledge).
My father had always imagined
himself an avid fisherman but
never realized his dream of owning a boat. The proceeds
helped his grandson, Chris (whom he never met), buy the
bass boat his grandfather would have loved.
