Earlier this week the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reprinted an article in their Ideas Lab from Kaiser Health News reporter Julie Revnor. I have the hard copy but online I found it on the NPR site. The article wrangles with the notion of who is really protecting the Affordable Care Act’s clause to cover Americans […]
One of the main points of contention in the Wisconsin race for US Senate has been the opposing views of Democratic incumbent Senator Tammy Baldwin and GOP opponent state Senator Leah Vukmir on healthcare.

Trump Regime Adamant On Enforcing The Law…Except
Isn’t it amazing how adamant the entire Trump Regime is in decrying how awful it is that they are separating families at the Mexican border but they have to enforce that awful “Democratic Law”?

We’ve written about universal health care a number of times. How it would encourage more entrepreneurs to start businesses knowing that they had health insurance, how small business owners wouldn’t have to compete for talent with bigger businesses because they couldn’t provide health insurance, and how employees would be more mobile because they didn’t have […]
Where Is The Democrats Single Payer Option?
Back in 2009/2010, right or wrong, the Obama Administration decided that the nation wasn’t ready for a single payer health care insurance plan. So after a lot of internal hand wringing and self inflicted concessions we ended up with a Romney-care look alike called the Affordable Care Act. It was less that perfect out of […]
