A reader writes in reply to Jan Forum letters about affordable health care, challenging Michael Kelly’s view of the ACA.

The writer concludes with sympathy for Kelly’s good fortune.
Candice Davis of Lawrence argues that affordable health care enables citizens to prosper not charity. The letter likens today’s debate to a modern Scrooge tale reflecting on health policy and community responsibility.
