  1. Since this is an issue that affects everyone who lives in Massachusetts and New Hampshire, would attract family members, employees and employers, and is billed as “the number one epidemic in healthcare in America,” one would think that the discussion would be FREE to all who wish to attend, rather than to charge attendance fees in an attempt to turn this into a “MONEY MAKER.”

    Jack Haverhill is correct. How do criminal invaders make money — scads of the stuff? They commit mayhem and sell drugs!

  2. The number one healthcare epidemic in this country are the millions of criminal invaders who came to this country during the past 8 years of Obama leaving the southern border wide open. This includes criminals, murderers, rapists, and communicable diseases that had previously been eradicated from this country for decades.
