Remember the Chicago police and firefighters who died serving our great city

That was a great review of the past decade in your recent Sunday edition, with the reprints of front pages, and in-depth stories of each year, especially sports.

The only criticism is that there should have been space set aside for the Chicago police officers and Chicago firefighters who died while serving the people of this great city from 2010 to 2019. The residents who are alive today as a direct consequence of their actions will remember, as will the families of the fallen heroes, but it is important to periodically remind the public.

It is still a great collection, which has now been stored in my personal files for posterity. Hopefully there will be a similar collection 10 and 20 years from now.

Trump and GOP make millions worry about health coverage

If the Affordable Care Act, dubbed Obamacare by Republicans, had been the project of a Republican president or any other president except Barack Obama, would Donald Trump be so anxious to tear it down?

Obama welcomed Trump to the presidency with class and grace. Trump acted appreciative, hiding the fact that his two primary missions upon taking office were to promote himself and to demean Obama.

That not only applies to the current health insurance plan but to Trump’s stripping of Obama’s clean air and water regulations, converting the EPA to the Environmental Pollution Agency. As for Obamacare, Trump has demeaned himself by joining the last three years of the 10-year failure by Republicans in Congress to repeal Obamacare because they couldn’t devise a workable replacement.

Even Obama has conceded that the Affordable Care Act could be improved. If Trump had agreed to that much, millions of people served by Obamacare wouldn’t be so worried about their future coverage.
