Dr. Dale Buchberger's July 4 column was especially prescient. The Republican majority is feverishly working to deprive millions of Americans of health insurance to reduce the debit ceiling and provide tax relief to wealthy individuals etc. New York state has many of those millions of citizens.

I can't understand the reasoning behind wanting to balance a budget vs. keeping citizens healthy. How could any citizen withhold or deny health care to those citizens in need and unable to help themselves?
