No Medicare savings

The Oct. 30 letter Save on Medicare implies that any senior citizen choosing an HMO will receive $100 monthly added to their Social Security check for Medicare’s Part B reimbursement.

However, the $100 reimbursement only applies to those people, such as low income seniors, who are on Medicare and also receive Medicaid or SSI.

Vote for civility and ethics for better local governments

By Jim Cason, former mayor, Coral Gables, Merrett R. Stierheim, former Miami-Dade County manager

There are many important municipal elections scheduled this year throughout Miami-Dade County. The impact of those elections on local residents spans across many issues, like personal safety and security, taxation, and neighborhood recareation programs.

Because these issues often affect the quality of residential life and the delivery of municipal public services, residents should take more than passing interest in who their candidates are and what they stand for. It is most important for all of us to become informed and vote.
