“Repeal and replace” is really a ruse to take away health coverage for lower-income Americans and save those in the top tax brackets millions of dollars that have gone to help pay for that health coverage.
There is a lot of misinformation circulating through various news outlets and social media channels, so I’d like to take this opportunity to address some of the most common questions and misconceptions surrounding the American Health Care Act.
The Senate still will have its say, but ultimately, whatever passes will be a retreat from a plan that didn’t work. And in that sense, it represents the right kind of progress.
My fervent hope now is that reason and compassion prevail in the Senate and prevent this abomination of a bill from worming its way any further toward becoming law.
In “Two Minutes with Mitch” radio personality Mitch Henck gives his two cents on the health care bill that is now in the U.S. Senate’s hands.
Somebody should give credit to Congressional Republicans for creating one of the greatest economic opportunities of all time.
Walker says late Friday never mind about his eagerness to get on board the ‘opt out of pre-existing conditions’ bandwagon set in motion by his best pal Paul Ryan.
Last week, Rep. Kooyenga put forth a large, multi-faceted, and rather complicated proposal to address the long-simmering issue of road funding. He should be applauded for doing his research and having the courage to stand up and make his case.
McCabe offers something rare in a challenge to Walker — an actual vision for improving Wisconsin.
The party needs to get to work on the midterm elections.
The fact that the state is now attempting to codify a process that may provide civil legal services to indigent and disabled residents is good public policy, and is desperately needed.
The WisOpinion.com Insiders, Chvala & Kanavas, debate President Trump, Sheriff Clarke, the 2018 guv’s race, transportation and more in the “lightning round,” brought to you by the Wisconsin Counties Association and Michael Best Strategies.
The latest edition of the WisPolitics.com Book Club features Gregg Hoffmann, author of “Immortalized in Bronze.” The new book, more than 40 years in the making, profiles members of the Wisconsin Sports Hall of Fame.
Recently, Sanders’ tune has changed, and the defenders of embattled reproductive rights have noticed.
DNR staff want to see an agency that lives up to its mission. They, and the citizens of Wisconsin whom they serve, want a DNR that promotes science and citizen understanding, not the shabby politics of the moment.
The recent experience of Wisconsin dairy farmers being dropped from their processors and left scrambling to find a new buyer for their milk should be a wake-up call. Dairy farmers, farm groups, and the Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection should all take a long look at what has happened and what it means for the future of dairy farming in our state.
I encourage all colleges not only to allow but actually to encourage a wide range of speakers because a good education depends on hearing controversial topics that might make one uncomfortable and might even be perceived as offensive.
It is disheartening when my State Rep, Terese Berceau, can call the nationwide war on free speech “an artificial, political controversy.”
The agriculture industry and more than a dozen other influential special interests represented by WMC, including business, manufacturing, real estate and construction, contributed $16.7 million between January 2011 and December 2016 to Republican legislators. These same interests also contributed another $33.2 million to Walker during the period. That’s almost $50 million combined.
By one new measurement, Wisconsin is 12th worst nationally for wells which supply drinking water out of compliance with federal law.
