Affordable Care Act bringing jobs to Lawrence
The Affordable Care Act is not feasible. In real life you need nurses and support staff. It is starting to downhill and hospitals are cutting staff and budgets. Liberty Hospital just laid over 100 off, shut down patient transportation services and the Wound Center. Regardless of what happens in a call center, we need to prepare ourselves for what is about to happen at the point of care.

Sound Off: Key conundrum
Look on Craigslist if you lose your pet or you see one that could be lost. One man posted about a little white dog that he and a passerby had tried to catch. He posted that he later found it dead along side of the road when he went to check on it again. What a nice man and how sad. Lots of pictures of lost pets. There is a darling little black poodle that is lost. Someone might recognize it.

No health premium hike for county employees
A person really needs to know what their coverage is. Here are some things to consider: Am I allowed any basic office visits or do I pay out of pocket until my deductible is met? What kind of diagnostic testing will it cover? Does that count towards deductible first? Does my insurance cover physical, occupational or speech therapy? Does my insurance cover durable medical equipment? (walkers, crutches, etc). There are so many things that some insurances don't pay, or won't pay until you have paid thousands out of pocket. It's a racket.

Five years later, organization still keeping its 'promise'
It seems like 23 year olds shouldn't have 8 year olds. Plus 3 more. I am glad that she has found assistance. It doesn't appear that there is or has been any guidance for a long time.

Letter: Shame on us
How does a background check deter a mentally unstable person from buying a gun? They don't have to go to a gun store to buy it. Depending on how deviant they are they will find a way to bypass any law. You don't have to own a gun to have access to one. What about people that have no known mental health history but are mentally ill? Think how many of them there are in today's society. I'm more concerned about those people. They probably already own guns or have access to them.

Lawrence nurse to become full-time missionary
Nurses aren't in it for the attention or the money. If you have ever known one or observed one at work you know this. What she will be doing and the conditions she will be doing it under has nothing to do with anything other than compassion. How could you go from a practicing nurse in modern medicine to nursing in primitive places like this for any other reason? You can take the nurse out of the hospital, but you can't take the nurse out of the girl. Some of them anyways. The ones that are genuine nurses.

Kansas Supreme Court rules in two cases involving indecent liberties with minors
Pedophiles are the highest form of pervert. Men that molest 12-14 year olds fall into that category. "Sex offender" hysteria doesn't apply here. Neither does cruel and unusual punishment.

Construction to reduce downtown Kansas River bridges to one lane beginning Monday
One lane means one lane. So to those of you headed north off of Tennessee for the bridge, it would be nice if you didn't block the intersection at 6th for those headed east on 6th. The intersection is usually totally blocked because people are trying to creep into that lane off of Tennessee. The whole time blocking the outside lane for those headed to Mass. or beyond.
