Letter: Christensen's proposal for health care for migrants is embarrassing

Related Topics: Health care, Utah, Jesus

Maybe it is trendy to come across as an oligarch, to run counter to the teachings of the Savior, to embarrass the people of Utah and the LDS Church, or make the North Ogden voters look like dorks.

To rescind legislation that endowed legal migrants and their children access to basic health care the first five years they are here, as state Sen. Allen Christensen has proposed, is far out.

It is far out from being humane and from being sensible in helping them get established. It is detrimental to their future well-being and productivity that we all, not just them, have a vested interest in.
