MADISON — Wisconsin Republican lieutenant governor candidate Rebecca Kleefisch, diagnosed with cancer a month ago, touts the treatments she received under her state-subsidized insurance plan at the same time she rails against government-run health care in a new television ad.

Kleefisch's situation makes the case for the new health care reform law because that law will result in more people getting the same quality of care she received through her husband's state insurance plan, said Robert Kraig, executive director of Citizen Action of Wisconsin. That group advocates for health care reform.
"Kleefisch's own story, rather than discrediting reform, powerfully illustrates its value," Kraig said.
The national health insurance reform passed by Congress will require that all health insurance plans cover preventative care and screenings without co-pays or deductibles, a positive change that will assure everyone get the same treatments Kleefisch did under the state plan, Kraig said.

The candidate for the political wing of the Tea Party Terrorist movement wanted to remind voters that it's not an entitlement when a bagger gets it, it is only when others get it. She was however only able to mouth "Commie, government takeover, Obamacare". To prove she was serious she also added "!!!!!!!!!1!!!!!!!1!!!!!!!" to her press release to highlight how important the issue was to other baggers.
