JUDGES: Welcome to the real world of health care
Last updated: November 4th, 2009 10:27 AM (PST)

Presiding Judge Bryan Chushcoff should fight for his double health care coverage based on legal principles. He should not use as a justification medical bills that may be “financially devastating” without double coverage.

With an annual salary of $148,000, how can he justify that statement, when the State of Washington is cutting health benefits to the sick and disabled, and thousands of citizens are filing for bankruptcy due to lack of health care benefits? I’m sure the public will remember those statements the next time he is up for election.
