Citizen unrest over health legislation

A letter to the editor in yesterday's Star Tribune:

"We are going to throw 30,000 Minnesotans off health care so that we can protect the taxes of the wealthiest 42,000 Minnesotans from going up (Star Tribune, May 6). Gov. Tim Pawlenty and the House Republicans are telling us that protecting William W. McGuire, the CEO of United Health Care, and his $124.5 million salary package is more important than the health coverage of working class Minnesotans making $35 to $40,000 a year. Explain "profoundly stupid" to me again."
