Democrats in the Nassau County Legislature said they have been trying to pass a bill that would provide relief for senior citizens and persons with disabilities from increasing property taxes. “I just think that Nassau County should not just be a place for you to start a fami ly,” said County Leg islator Carrié Solag es in discussing the tax exemption bill. “It should be a place where you can retire.“We have our senior citizens; these poor people are paying into the school tax space sys tem even after hav ing no children in the system or hav ing a child that was 20 years ago.”However, Solages did acknowledge the benefits of school taxes even when seniors don’t have kids in school.
“You receive a benefit from it when they’re good schools,” said Solages. “Good schools produce good students who don’t put graffiti on the walls everywhere, and as a result, your property values are high.” He said taxpayers who don’t have children in the school sys tem should receive some sort of rebate, adding that he hopes to propose that in the future. He said he is seeking some compen sation for seniors, the disabled and low-income res idents.Asimilar mea sure was introduced in January of last year and went through the state legislature before ultimately being passed. Gov. Kathy Hochul signed the bill on Aug. 8, 2022. “With inflation and rising costs put ting a strain on fam ilies nationwide, this legislation will help to ensure that New Yorkers –- from seniors to first-time homebuyers -– get some much-needed relief,” Hochul said in a news release.

By BRIAN PFAIL bpfail@liherald.com The Franklin Square Library wrapped up its summer reading program with a bang. Last Friday and Saturday, the library grounds were a host to snakes, tortoises, and other reptilian creatures, as well as prairie dogs and ponies. “It’s something that we have every year for our summer reading,” said Diane Gregory, a librarian at the Franklin Square Library. “We try to have some type of finale to thank the children for working so hard during the summer and reading all their books,” she said. The program had two different groups. One for those between the ages of five to 12 and the other for the younger kids. The older group was the “Oceans of Possibilities” club. Last year, the library reward ed them with a magic show, and this year it was an animal exhibit – Pete Elliot and Friends. “The kids really liked it, so we’re going to be having them back again,” said Gregory. The younger of the two groups is the “Read To Me” pro gram. Parents would read to the kids, allot ting them credit to tally up to 50 if all books were read. The kids enjoyed the petting zoo and its pony ride. Gregory said it was just “per fect for the little ones.” She said they very much enjoyed the pro gram and its associat ed treats.

“It was four different master artists that the kids were able to learn a little bit about,” Ozma said. “Then they were able to make their own version (of that art) using the same sort of style.” They focused on famous artists, such as Wassily Kandinsky and Georgia O’Keefe, drawing upon the styles of the various artists, learning their history and partaking in the actual painting style to what Ozma calls “mini-masters.” “They were basically creating their own masterpiece or their own version of that,” she said, adding that it was Mind nasium’s first art exhibit of this kind and a successful one. “Every child is different, and it’s all child-directed,” she added. “So whatever that level it is for them, they’re doing it accordingly. We are all about learning and playing and getting kids engaged in things like technology, but at the same time having them be active and engaged in their environment.”
Ozma added that the new classroom setting could be intimidating for the kids and they might feel overwhelmed because they aren’t accustomed to such an envi ronment due to the Covid-19 lockdowns and social distancing. “They get a bit worried with indoor space in general,” Ozma said. “It’s a safe space for them to come in.” Mindnasium, the Syeds said, also offers a host of activities from storybooks and arts and crafts to Lego Night. She said parents attending a committee meet ing could drop their children off for a night of painting or designing a new Lego project. This provides an opportunity for parents to enjoy some space while chil dren engage with one another.

Ray Luzio of Perry’s Flooring America firmly believes all children are entitled to an equitable learning experience.“Wespoke to the school district,” said Luzio. “They said there are a lot of kids that just can’t afford to get this stuff.“Their supplies are not backpacks, but it’s going to be a bunch.”Luziomotioned to a shopping list that included pen cils, pens, crayons, glue, scissors, tissues, markers, sharp ies, notebooks, highlighters, index cards, and folders. There was no limit to what people could donate, and if they were pressed for time, they were encouraged to use a drop-off point or an Amazon barcode. The code would aggregate the shopping list’s items for the donor. With a simple scan, everything on the list is generated on the Amazon page or app. Luzio says this simplistic way of doing such an initiative is a means of encouragement while making it relatively easy for the community to play its part. “It also gives everybody a way,” said Luzio. “Some body may come here, and they’re not prepared to give pencils, but when they go home, instead of them having to go to the store, purchase something and bring it in, they can have Amazon send it directly.” He says the Amazon purchases account for about 50% of the donations. Only with a few short clicks can the donations be made. They are streamlining the process even further with the coordination of the school district.
The original list of supplies was prepared by the district to include the items most used and needed. The event is not too similar to other “backpack events” in that the focus is more on donating a long list of items specifically curated by the schools. There is also a raffle event for the donors to have a chance to win some novelty“We’reprizes.going to have a live drawing for these prizes on September 1. It’ll be on Instagram,” said Luzio. “People want to watch it.”

A small flooring company in Franklin Square intends to make sure every student is prepared for the upcoming school year. The month-long supply drive began August 1 and has now gathered enough gear to supply two to three thousand students.
Although there has been no formal assistance from outside organizations besides the school district, the Franklin Square Chamber has been footing some PR for the campaign through Facebook and Instagram. “The response has been great. We’ve had a lot of help from the Chamber. Some of the local restaurants are donating gift certificates for dinner and wines,” said Luzio. “I’d like to thank them obviously for their partici pation. It’s been a very pleasant experience working for the people of Franklin Square, without thought.”

Sophomore John Beaubrun, a Valley Stream Central High School graduate, leads the receiver corps and is also a key on special teams as a return option. “John had some big catches and a handful of touchdowns last year,” Ramsay said. “He has good speed and hands and runs sharpVersatileroutes.”sophomore tight end Greg King, a 6-foot-4 target, also returns and will provide yardage through the air and blocking.
The Lions, who finished 6-4 last season, traditionally field a fierce defense and Ramsey believes the foundation is in place for the unit to thrive again.
“Last year was a challenge coming off the canceled 2020 Covid season, but I thought we handled it quite well,” Nassau CC head coach Jamel Ramsay said. “It was a tough ending. We were down pretty big at halftime, fought back to take the lead in the last minute but couldn’t hold on. “We’re excited about the opportunity to return to that stage,” he added. “We have strong returning talent and I thought we added some nice pieces to fill voids.”
The Lions were the No. 1-ranked NJCAA Division III program most of last season and are looking to get back to the championship game (Red Grange Bowl in Glen Ellyn, Illinois) after falling just short to DuPage, 34-29, after beating the Chaparrals by two points during the regular season.

“He looks to be a force to be reckoned with,” Ramsay said.Offensively, Ramsay is looking for the Lions to take things up a notch under the direction of new quarter back Luke Sprague, a transfer from LIU-Post. “He’s a tre mendous pocket passer with an extremely strong arm,” Ramsay said. “We feel he’s someone who can elevate our offense to another level for the next two years.”

The feature running back is former Sewanhaka High School standout Brian Lowry. “He’s a tough downhill runner with deceptive speed,” Ramsay said. “He’s patient and strong and we’re looking for him to build on lastAnchoringyear.” the offensive front is sophomore center Kwami Frimpong, a talented all-around lineman and a leader in the huddle. “He’s crucial to everything we do on offense,” said Ramsay, who is also counting on returning starting sophomores Shamar Riley (tackle) and Kasper Borawski (guard) to get the job done in the trenches.
Sophomores Jack Winey, Khristan Hernandez, Jordan Campbell and Jaylen Ware are all returning starters, while freshman Devyon Wright could prove the most sig nificantWiney,newcomer.aformer standout at Lindenhurst High School, and Ware lead the linebacker corps. Both are returning starters who go sideline to sideline and excel at tackling, Ramsay said. “Jack was one of our defensive leaders last year and came into camp in outstanding shape,” the coach noted. “Jaylen is similar. He’s a tough, strong kid.” Hernandez is a shutdown cornerback who’ll get the toughest weekly assignment in the secondary, Ramsay said. “He’s not the biggest guy (5-foot-9) but he can go against big receivers and shut them down,” Ramsay said. “He has great all-around skills and is one of our vocal leaders.”Campbell will spearhead the pass rush from the edge and comes off an impressive first season. “I’m excited to see what he can do after last year,” Ramsay said. Wright, from Dix Hills, is one of the defensive X-fac tors. He’s been dynamic in camp and will start at safety.
“We have a lot of challenges on the schedule that we’re pumped about,” Ramsay said.

“I’d position it more as ‘making good choices’ versus ‘peer pressure,’ because big picture, if your kid makes good choices throughout life, he/she is setting himself/herself up for success,” advises Amy Kossoff Smith, founder of The MomTini Lounge. “I’d advocate sitting down before school to talk about your routine/expec tations, and in that context, say that there will be many opportunities to decide what is best for him/her and that you hope he/she will come to you for advice when needed and will make good choices, especially when presented with ideas or opportunities that may not lead to a good out come.”

By Chelle Cordero
The first time you hold your child in your arms, you make promises to love, protect and always be there to guide him or her. Then reality intrudes.Unfortunately for us and fortunately for them, things such as school force us to release our little ones for a while and put them in the care of teachers and school administrators, who must oversee several kids at once. Suddenly, our precious bundle faces a must-be-decided-now quandary and finds that mommy or daddy isn’t there to make all the decisions. Sometimes the situation is even scary. Challenges face our chil dren in the form of peer pressure, drugs, sex and bullying.Clinical psychologist and author Dr. John Duffy says: “Parents do need to talk with their kids about bullying, sex and peer pressure. Many parents I’ve worked with over the years will pro vide time for a lecture, often a one-time-only lecture. But they will often fail to provide time for ongoing discussion of these topics, which is what children really need. They need to know that we as parents are available to them as guides should they need help navigating the world of peer pressure.” “I work with teens and tweens. They are at particular risk for peer pressure to participate in sexual activity, drink or smoke pot. Many are bul lied in ways we could not have even imagined a generation ago (texting, social media). They need parents who can help them in real time. The stronger the connection between parent and child the likelier a parent’s word will be heeded and the likelier a parent’s limits will be honored.”When you have that all-important conversa tion, Dr. Fran Walfish recommends: “The most important thing your child or teen needs on his first day of school is to not feel lonely or isolated. Talk with your kid about what it takes to be a good friend. Include what feels comfortable and what doesn’t. Teach your child to follow her instincts.”“Most kids know right from wrong. Teach your kid to listen to his internal voice and follow his intuition, not the crowd. I would wait to dis cuss sex and cyber-bullying and other issues so as not to bombard and overwhelm your child before school starts. Too much talk can raise anxiety when your goal here is preparation and to reduce anxiety.”

“It’s helpful to get an understanding of the process to see how it’s made,” Albert says. “How ink sits on a plate and how it’s transferred is different. Also notice the image is reversed, it’s the opposite of what it is on the plate.”
Local musicians gather with fans of Harry Chapin for that rousing tribute to Chapin’s musical legacy postponed from its original date in July. Stuart Markus, with his band Gathering Time, are prepared to lead Long Island’s top musical talents in spirited renditions of Chapin’s many hits. It also will be livestreamed on the ‘Just Wild About Harry’ (The Harry Chapin Tribute Show) Facebook page and available for later viewing. This year’s concert — the 19th annual, and 17th at the park — marks the 50th anniversary of the release of Chapin’s breakout hit ‘Taxi.’ As always, visitors are asked to bring donations of non-perishable food items to be collected by Long Island Cares.

Hofstra University Museum of Art’s new exhibit, “Off the Press,” explores the relationship between the artist and the complexities of the printmaking craft. “Our goal with all our exhibits is to make our permanent collection accessible to the public,” says Karen Albert,the museum’s director and curator. “And one of the big strengths of our collection (5,200 pieces in all) is the print collection.” A print, in the broadest definition, is a work of art composed of ink on paper created through an indirect transfer process. Four major printmaking methods have developed over the centuries: relief, intaglio, and the planographic techniques of lithography and screenprinting.“Printmakers may choose between methods to produce a distinct type of image or line quality,” Albert explains.”Artists will choose the technique based on how they want the final image to look. This exhibition will give viewers insight into how and why such artistic choices are made.”

Of particular note, she cites Romare Bearden’s “The Family” for his use of tinting and photo engraving. And Henry Moore’s “13 Standing Figures,” which visually relates to a sculpture that resides on Hofstra’s South Campus. Woodcuts, the oldest form of printmaking, appeared in fifth century Chinese art, and in Europe since the 15th century. Early prints — most commonly woodcuts, wood engravings and metal plate engravings — were often produced to provide illustrations for publications and, in the hierarchy of artists, printmakers were considered “lesser than” painters and sculptors. European and American artists began experimenting with printmaking in the late 19th to early 20th century. More recent decades saw the establishment of printmaking studios, where well-
known artists created new and innovative prints. As techniques have evolved — especially now with digital technology — artists have pushed the boundaries of traditional printmaking. Many contemporary artists view their graphic work as an integral part of their oeuvre and, for some, it is their primary expressive medium.

to provide income-eligible senior citizens and persons with disabilities relief from the burden of increasing property taxes. It would raise the maximum income eligi bility for seniors to obtain a real property tax exemption from $29,000 to $50,000 beginning July 1, 2022. “What we are waiting for in order to implement it fully is the support of the Nassau County Legislature,” said Solag es. “The presiding officer has enormous powers, he could call a special session. Each day that goes (by) is another day that seniors can’t afford to pay these taxes.”Solages called upon the media to report and help publicize the issue. New York state has a growing number of lowincome seniors and those on fixed incomes, as well as those with disabilities. The maximum income eligibility for these exemptions has not been raised since 2009, officials said. In light of Covid19 and the current economic recession resulting in inflation, fixed-income resi dents are hit the hardest with property taxes, they said. “I think it’s unwise for the Republicans not to call this to the agenda,” said Solag es. “They have absolute power to call things to Solagesagenda.”saidhe recognizes the Republi can concern regarding who will eventual ly carry the lifted tax burden, saying, “Give me a fair debate.” He said he welcomes discussion but sees the partisan divide even as a preTrump era phenomenon. “It’s been that way before Trump, in all fairness,” said Solages.TheState Assembly bill, supported by the minority caucus, increases the income level for property tax exemptions for senior citizen homeowners, the dis abled and low-income residents. Under that bill, the cap of $34,400 would be raised to $58,400, officials said. There’s a sliding scale, which means the closer one gets to the income cap, the smaller the benefits one would receive. The Assembly’s legislation would allow municipalities to increase the maximum income that a homeowner can have and still apply for the exemption. The bill now needs to go through coun ty legislative committees and the full Nas sau County Legislature for it to be enact ed locally.Ifthe legislature passes it, the bill could take effect as early as Sept. 8, offi cials said.

Cemetery Plots
For example, there are many regulations for sleeping spaces and bathrooms, such as means of escape, minimum space size, plumbing require ments and use. In most jurisdictions, the extra bed room has been used as a non-permitted rental, so the examiner of the plans, not the inspector you met, may have a policy to first get proof that you are not illegally renting the space. If you have a door to the outside from the room, for example, they will require that it be substituted with a win dow or blocked entirely with wall materials, mean ing that you have some remedial construction to do.
I’m working with a few files right now where the owners didn’t know that the ceiling heights are lower than allowed by state building code, so, in addition to applying for a building permit, we are in a multi-month processes of first applying for a building code variance. This requires much more documentation, time and cost to the owner that the inspector might have noticed and said something about when they saw the spaces in question, but the owner wasn’t made aware of it. The owner was also only told they needed an architect or engineer and a sketch. This creates the false sense that the much more complicated process was simple when it wasn’t, and left the licensed professional to look like the enforcer of the law and “the bad guy,” pos sibly trying to rack up more fees.

Ask ArchitectThe Monte Leeper © 2022 Monte Leeper Readers are encouraged to send questions to yourhousedr@aol.com, with “Herald question” in the subject line, or to Herald Homes, 2 Endo Blvd., Garden City, NY 11530, Attn: Monte Leeper, architect.
Q. We were told by a building inspector that we need a permit for making our garage into a bedroom and bathroom. He gave us 10 days to “respond.” He told us we just need an architect to file a sketch of the room; he would even help us expedite the permit. We called around and are being told some crazy things and high costs to prepare the sketch. Why are we being told we need all these things, like a survey, a possible Sandy repair permit, an energy report, etc.? The inspector didn’t say we needed any of this. Who’s telling us the truth? We’re so confused.
Making the garage into living space
A. I’ve always won dered why people in your situation aren’t given a more thorough explana tion of all the things need ed for a permit. Code words like “sketch,” “expedite” and “simple,” along with phrases like “all you need is a permit,” or “you just …” are mis leading. Making a much more complicated process seem so simple that peo ple have a false sense of what is needed only adds stress and mistrust to the problem when a licensed individual is trying to get you through this legal procedure. Couple this with the knowledge of codes, structure and pitfalls that a seasoned professional must apply, and you may have a better sense of how you got pulled into a much more involved situation than you were told about and why it costs more than you assumed.

In the 1880s, Congress commissioned the Marine Hospital Service with exam ining passengers on arriv ing ships for signs of infec tious diseases in order to prevent epidemics. To spe cialize in that work, the MHS set up a small lab (on Staten Island), which would grow to be known as the National Institutes of Health. So the NIH has had about 130 years learning how to use medical science and best public health practices to prevent viral illnesses from becoming pandemics that might kill millions.Andyet in the winter of 2020 Ameri cans had the impression that the CDC and the NIH didn’t know what the hell they were doing, even though they condescend ingly acted like know-it-alls. That was a disastrous blow to our respect for those institutions. Worse than that was a suspi cion that their leaders, Drs. Anthony Fauci and Francis Collins, knew more about China’s infectious disease research than they were letting on. It’s hard to tell what’s worse: Thinking our institutions are incompetent, or suspecting they’re hiding the whole truth from us. Less critical than a bungling govern ment and inept disease-control regime, there are other examples of once reliable and now ineffective institutions. Are you getting your mail as regularly and accu rately delivered as you once did? How do you assess the common sense and general intelligence of most college grads you deal with on a daily basis? Do they inspire you with confidence in the future? When you deal with a business in person or by phone do you feel like they know what they’re doing? When you read supposedly fact-based articles in newspapers do you quickly see the bias or advocacy going on? Do you think new fellow employees are less able than the ones they replaced? What other examples of incompetence do you frequently encounter? Institutions have only ever been as competent as the people in them and who lead them. It’s up to us to demand that our federal, state, county, local and school dis trict institutions act competently. It’s up to people who call themselves journalists to discover and report the unbiased whole truth, without trading that truth for access to those institutions. It’s up to us to vote.

All over again I wonder at the deep, glorious expanse of white sand stretching down to the surf. This week the sun was brilliant in a blue sky studded with dar ling puffs of white. Oil tankers rode the horizon. The waves were lively, crashing around the rock jetties. I walked along the beach and took notice of everything I could hear: my rubber soles scuffing on the sand, the cawing of the seabirds roost ing around me, a jet leaving a ghost trail overhead.Afewpeople, widely scattered, were enjoying the day. One lone fisherman stood out on the rocks. The scene was soli tary; the heartbeat slowed, the mind qui eted and I felt like my better self as I set new footprints into the sand. At the tip of one jetty someone had placed a large American flag, which was tattered by the wind. If I knew how to write music, I would have composed an anthem from that image. It was a perfect experience. Isn’t this the most we can hope for—to leave our worries behind or at least set them aside for a while- and immerse ourselves in a setting of peace and beauty?

Want to ensure democracy? Invest in education
S ummers are for beaches, barbe cues and outdoor concerts. But for Faye, each and every day of her summers during her college years were spent inside a hot factory, pushing a button many times over. It was tedious, but it came with a pay check. One that, by the time her summer was over, she could fund just about every single cent of the upcoming fall and spring semesters toward her goal of shaping young minds as an elementary school teacher. And here she was, in front of a class of students, sharing her tenacity. Her persistence.Exceptthis was the early 1980s. A time when tuition, fees, room and board cost just under $3,000 for the whole year — a little more than $10,000 in today’s money. But that’s not the same for teachers walking into our classrooms today as fall classes begin — not just across Nassau County, but across the country. That number is now just under $29,000, according to the Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce, as reported by Forbes last spring. While those numbers haven’t moved too much since the start of the coronavirus pandemic, they’ve certainly climbed significantly over the past 40 years — nearly three times the rate of inflation.Goingto college is supposed to pre pare our best young minds for the future. Instead, it creates significant burdens, with recent graduates carrying debts with them in six figures, many times before they even buy their first car, let alone their first house. Student loans are typically structured to only be present for the first 10 years of a graduate’s career. But a 2013 study by One Wisconsin Institute say that is more like the first 21 years of a career. That means many college graduates are help ing to secure student loans for their kids, while still paying off their own. It’s a “circle of life” that shouldn’t even exist. Yet it does. And whether we are product of colleges from the 1980s or today, it affects each and every one of us. For one, the number of high school seniors choosing college after gradua tion is dropping. Just 15.9 million pur sued undergraduate degrees in 2020, according to the U.S. Department of Edu cation’s Institute of Education Sciences. That’s from a peak of 18.1 million in 2010, and has steadily declined ever since.Yet, more than $1.6 trillion in student loans remain outstanding for 45 million people, according to the White House. That’s an average of $36,000 per student. Such a debt load also makes it harder for new college graduates to get started on their own, independent lives. In fact, more than half of college students sur veyed by Pew Research Center said they were back home living with their par ents in late 2020 — the highest percent age since the Great Depression. Sure, we could blame Covid-19, but those numbers were already past 47 percent and climb ing even before the pandemic. Yet, the federal government’s plan to forgive up to $20,000 in student debt for anyone not among the super-wealthy is wrong — not because it’s wiping away student debt, but because it’s not wiping away enough of it. President Biden’s own numbers paint a horrifying picture for America’s postsecondary education system. The cost of a public four-year university has sky rocketed nearly 200 percent since 1980, but federal aid through Pell Grants has grown just 20 percent. In 1980, Pell Grants could offset 75 per cent of your total college expenses. Now? It’s barely 30 percent. That’s not how a country makes education a priority — and it’s certainly not how a country remains a superpower. This grant forgiveness isn’t a handout. It’s simply our government trying to catch up on the commitment made to each and every young person so many years ago. That means ensuring public funding is there while controlling costs at public universities. And at the very least, make community college free. Even the Founding Fathers felt educa tion was essential in ensuring democra cy, although it would take decades to establish broad-access public schools for children. In 1910, just one out of every 10 people had high school diplomas. Today, it’s above 90 percent. Investing in education makes a differ ence — but so does not investing in edu cation. Except that creates the kind of difference we’d rather not experience. Faye was able to fund her college by not only pressing a button over and over again at a factory all summer long, but because of Washington’s commitment to herBiden’seducation.move on restoring that com mitment is a start, but there’s still a long way to go.
Veterans, too, need to learn to teach
Like Randi, I am a retired teacher, hav ing completed all the requirements neces sary for teachers in New York state. That anyone, including our veterans, would have the nerve to accept this position and stand up in front of 25 impressionable children and think he/she can teach with out having had the methods courses or the hands-on student teaching experience is simply arrogant. It says that my degrees in education are unnecessary. Do they know how to write a lesson plan? Do they know how to handle class

Frankly, I wouldn’t mind paying higher taxes if it meant that my fellow Amer icans would receive the care they needed. But call it whatever you want. You already pay “taxes” to pri vate insurance companies in the form of premiums, copays and deductibles. And when expensive emer gency services are utilized for prevent able health problems, you foot part of the bill.Contrary to popular opinion, govern ment programs are extremely efficient. Social Security spends less than 1 percent of its budget on administration, and Medicare spends 2 percent, compared with a low estimate of 17 percent among private insurers, who spend many of your “tax” dollars on profits and market ing rather than health care.

The program would also save us money. A study from Yale University esti mated that a single-payer system would save us $450 billion per year. Another study, from the University of Massachu setts Amherst, put the price tag of singlepayer at just under $3 trillion, compared with the $4.1 trillion the American Medi cal Association estimated we spent on health care in 2020, meaning single-payer could save us $22 trillion over 20 years. Of course, there are con cerns about higher taxes.

A final worry is, “Would I lose my existing health insurance?” No. It’s a pre carious time in America right now, but no one’s coverage would be taken away.

I’m not suggesting that our good, hardworking doc tors work for free. Rather, we ought to provide every one in the country with uni versal health care through a single-payer program. Everyone would pay into a pool, and the government would use that money to pay doctors for treatment. The list of potential benefits is long. If you lost your job, you wouldn’t lose your health insurance. Small businesses wouldn’t have to bear the enormous cost of employee health care. Unions would no longer have to negotiate for health care benefits; 100 percent coverage would finally be achieved; and we would no lon ger lose 45,000 Americans a year due to a lack of health insurance.

Why the heck should health care be affordable? e cause as far as I can see, health care shouldn’t just be affordable. It should be free.
A s election season heats up, we are once again hearing the same worn-out message parrot ed by Democrats hoping to get elected. You know it: “I support access to quality, affordable health care.” But no one ever questions why health care should be this way. Because as far as I can see, health care shouldn’t just be affordable. It should be free. Under rare cir cumstances, like in rural areas of the country, get ting access to health care is gen uinely difficult. There are situa tions in which there is a real shortage of doc tors, and they must be addressed. But for the vast majority of Americans, the real barrier to health care is its prohibitively high cost.You have “access” to health care in the same way you have “access” to a Lambo rghini. What’s stopping you? Go get one! Clearly, the problem isn’t supply; the cars are there. It’s the fact that for most Amer icans, it’s way too expensive. The difference is, you can live without a Lambo, but you can’t live without health care.
MATTHEW ADARICHEV room issues, discipline and difficulties? Will they stay up at night tweaking the next day’s lesson to make it even better? Will they create hands-on lessons? Can they do the new math required (or maybe not required in Florida) of elementary school children, and will they teach his tory the way it happened? Oh, I forgot — books have been censored or removed in thatMystate.guess is that the children in Flori da will be deprived of a decent educa tion, which will render them ignorant and eventually produce the next genera tion of voters DeSantis wants. My blood is still boiling.

Your current health insurance would be phased into the new plan over several years, during which you could still access services.Thepath forward is clear: We need to move toward a single-payer system in the U.S. It will save money, lives, nerves, and a whole lot of paperwork. Luckily, we don’t need to move forward alone. We can look to our Pacific ally, Taiwan, which already has an outstanding single-payer system. Taiwan has a higher life expec tancy, a lower infant mortality rate and a lower maternal mortality rate — all for less than we spend in the U.S. If you want to reform our brutal health care system, find and call your state senator at nysenate.gov/find-mysenator. There is legislation that has passed the Assembly called the New York Health Act, which would enact singlepayer in New York state. Contact your U.S. representative as well, or call Sen. Chuck Schumer, at (202) 224-6542, or Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, at (202) 224-4451. Remind them that single-payer is a policy supported by a majority of Americans. Health care policy shouldn’t be about providing “access to quality, affordable health care.” It should be about providing quality health care, period.

When did the idea that we should pay for necessary medical procedures become accepted? It’s as barbaric as demanding payment to breathe air. And the concept of affordability is completely subjective. A million-dollar procedure is affordable to a billionaire, but for those who live in poverty, coughing up a couple of thousand dollars a year — or even a couple of hundred — for bare-bones private insurance is onerous.
