Before Gov. Janet Mills approves expansion of Medicaid, she should find out if medical facilities accept patients on Medicaid. I found out that my dentist does not. Evidently, many dentists want payment before a procedure is done because they cannot rely on the state to pay the bill. Workers are needed to pay into the […]

People have created a mess
Disasters around the world remind me of the plagues of Egypt in biblical times. In my opinion, people have created the chaos that exists, so why blame God? People build houses on floodplains or too near rivers or the ocean. Exhaust gases from airplanes, factories, rockets going into outer space mix with other chemicals in […]

Have to pay out-of-pocket
People should be warned — many doctors do not take people on MaineCare, since the bills owned them are not being paid as they should. Gov. Paul LePage keeps saying there is no money available to expand the program. Bills are paid as money comes in. Doctors need to pay salaries, etc. I am on […]

Tips for job-hunters
Concerning job searches, I have heard that an applicant should put on a resume only what the potential employer is looking for in a candidate. Too many degrees can be seen as being over-qualified. When applying, people should include only degrees needed for the job. Employers are looking for candidates who can benefit the company […]

So why bother to […]

Will the U.S. fail?
Enemies of the United States do not reveal where their armaments are located. Doing so would expose them to destruction if their enemies knew about the locations. The U.S. must remember the saying, “Loose lips sink ships.” It may be that North Korea is playing a game so that the U.S. will reveal what and […]

Give prisoners work time
In my opinion, people commit crimes so they can be taken care of in prison. They don’t have to deal with the problems in life. They have meals, a place to sleep, medical care, etc. Prison is like a giant orphanage for those who seek to run away from the responsibilities of life. The cure […]

Candidates need more preparation
Elections should not be determined by how much money one candidate has accumulated; rather, by who is best qualified. People need training for a career. Do presidential hopefuls (or candidates for mayor) know what the job entails? Have they taken classes to prepare for a career in politics? No wonder America is going down the […]

Road to success is sacrifice
I hear a lot today about the need for higher wages in order to make ends meet. I ask, why have jobs moved to the South or other countries? It is my opinion that people going on strike to gain higher wages and more benefits upsets the economy. Employers cannot afford to pay everyone higher […]

G. De Moras: Take personal responsibility
Coming from poverty is no reason to become a failure in life and cause mayhem. I have known kids who grew up with both parents and a good family but who still got in trouble. And I have known kids from a poor family who never got into trouble. My mom died when she was […]
