Regarding Governor DeWine proposed work requirement for Ohio Medicaid. Bad idea! Anyone truly interested in making the poor self-reliant would work for legislation for a living wage, starting with $15.00 per hour, job training, and fair treatment by employers who use their employee’s labor on a part-time basis to deny company benefits, such as medical care. Otherwise, a work requirement for State Medicaid will move no poor person from poverty to middle class and self-reliance. Poor and low income people with no marketable education or job skills or whose labor is exploited are doomed to poverty, low wages, Medicaid dependency and food insecurity. The idea of a work requirement for Medicaid is punitive and punishment for being poor. Dr. Gladys Turner Finney, Dayton
It appears Gen. Milley was placed in an untenable situation during the last days of the Trump Administration. Trump was acting in an unstable manner and Gen. Milley was afraid he might start a war. Milley’s choices were to do nothing, resign, or stay and to try to limit Trump’s impulsive actions. Fortunately for the world, he choose the latter. GOP leaders are now calling him a traitor and demanding his resignation, but they helped to put him in that situation. Twice they had refused to impeach Trump and remove him from office. They knew that he was amoral, impulsive and would do anything to get his way. But because he had the Republican label attached to him, they refused to convict him in spite of the evidence. I suggest that Gen. Milley be removed from office and be awarded the Medal of Honor. Charles R. Martel, Dayton
