European Stars And Stripes (Newspaper) - March 23, 1987, Darmstadt, Hesse Monday. March 23. 1987 the stars and stripes Ann lancers dear Ann Lander i want to Call your attention to terrible problem thai has devel oped All Over the country it has to do with medical care Tor individual 65 and Over. The restrictions imposed by the government Are so Cripps Nganbun a realistic that a patient Rau to be nearly dead before he or in it id i milled to a Hospital far examination and treatment. H appears to most caring physicians thai the govern ment a hiring people to prevent patients from being admitted to hopi Tab or to find reasons Why they should not have been admitted and not Only to the physicians but to the hospitals. The physicians and the hospitals ire penalized if they admit patients thai the government att should not have been admitted. We have had a terrible time in Nebraska because the medicare Bills Are rent to Iowa Blue Cross and Blue shield which delays payment for several months. Fortunately before his untimely death sen. Edward Zorinsky d-neb., opened hearings regarding these de lays and it is hoped that the situation will improve. Most people Etc not aware of these problems until they become ill when they suddenly realize what has happened to medial care in the United states. Patients Are forced to leave their Hospital Beds before they should because the Hospital can collect Only to much from the government on medicare very few patients can afford $400 a Day for a Semi private room so they go Home much sooner than is prudent. The results Are sometimes disastrous. 1 could go on and on but this letter is already Loo Long. I Hope you will print it americans need to be made aware of the mess that has been created in Washingion.

Dear Ann Landers i did t care for your response to angry in new the daughter of the jewish Man whose Catho Lic wife buried him in the Catholic cemetery. You overlooked a few important facts papa s family obviously disliked hit second wife i got this impression when they referred to her As that woman com pared with the warm reference to the deceased had been married for 10 Yean to his second wife. Ii is the right of the widow to Datade on burial if no instructions Are left in his Case there were none. Historically dead husbands do not end up next to tint wives. Both Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson he next to wife number two. You should have told angry that once you Are dead you Are dead. Where you Are buried is of no consequence. Callous in Virginia dear callous Ibe location of the Grace makes no difference to the tenon who is a with hot 11 can mate lot of difference to Ike family who Elsbet to visit the grave. Theodore Roosell we married Only four Yean to Alice Hathaway Lee so it was not surprising that he we buried hit la Edith Kormil gun to wham he was tried for 33 Yean. Woodrow Wilson was another attry. He was married to Ellen Louise Axson for 29 Nars. A year Atler her death he married Edith boiling gait. Huson died nine Yean later in 1924. Edith died in 1961 and wait or next id him.

And in t ii always so that they do mean Well they do. It would be to much easier if they did to 1 know that they Are simply trying to be helpful. This Only makes matters worse.

We in the military arc not All one Basic color. Each person has Bis or her own distinct color and ethnic background. This is what makes each of us unique. In order for our military and civilian societies to Over came this racial Barrier we must respect the fact that our nation is not one color and accept the differences in All ethnic groups. If we were to look closer Ai our american history we would find there was no one color that fought to give us this Freedom we enjoy. It was not just the White Man who fought in the civil War. It was nol just Blacks and whiles who fought in world War to. It was different racial groups fighting together against people who opposed our Way of life. Racial discrimination still opposes our Way of life today numerous people have died because of this social disorder and multitudes of people have suffered lifelong pain mexican american Whites. Jews Blacks and the rest of those in our melting if our society continues to fight this internal War we Wilt not have to be conscious of atom bombs nuclear weapons or the soviet Union.
