Letter: If they’re smart, GOP will leave ACA alone

To Dan Newhouse, Maria Cantwell, Patty Murray:

In just the first four days of open enrollment this year, more than 600,000 people signed up for Obamacare (Affordable Care Act). This far outpaces last year. A large percentage of these people are first-time enrollments.

Congress, if you want to keep your jobs, you will keep your hands off Obamacare. This is your warning. Things are tenuous for the GOP as it is. Stop testing our will.

Ric Melton, Kennewick
