MADISON - In October, Gov. Scott Walker's deputy commissioner of insurance J.P. Wieske admitted that President Donald Trump’s sabotage of health care insurance markets was a leading factor in the skyrocketing health care premiums set to be faced by Wisconsinites. “Thanks to the strong advocacy and great work of the American people to save health care, Republicans were unsuccessful,” noted Democratic Party of Wisconsin Chair Martha Laning. “Democrats support affordable, quality health care for all.” In a desperate campaign frenzy, Walker is taking it even further claiming he is fixing something he continues to break. “Gov. Walker is attempting to gloss over the Republican attack on Wisconsinites’ health care by grasping for provisions of Obamacare in an attempt to distract from GOP destruction of health care,” said Laning. “He’s in the toughest campaign of his lifelong political career, attempting to rewrite Republicans’ embarrassing sabotage, using his reinvention of the truth through “reinsurance.” Make no mistake: Republicans are solely responsible for Wisconsinites’ rising health care costs. "Insurance companies, and even Gov. Walker's own insurance commissioner, have been crystal clear: Republicans are responsible for Wisconsinites' spiking health care costs,” added Laning. “Skyrocketing consumer costs are a product of years of Republican sabotage of the Affordable Care Act, and Wisconsin Republicans cannot hide that they support efforts to strip away millions of Americans' coverage and end protections for people with preexisting conditions." |
