GOP Candidate rails against state run health care that she herself gets.
Edited on Sat Oct-16-10 10:49 AM by TheBigotBasher
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.

<snip>

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 Tea Party candidate pays $85 a month for insurance, the state picks up the $1,722 balance.

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.

These people are hypocrites to the core and do not know any other way.

2. I think we have a trend emerging here
The loon that's running for Reid's seat in Nevada is apparently also on the receiving end of taxpayer subsidized health insurance through her husband's retirement plan while she campaigns on denying similar coverage to other Americans.

3. She should be railing against the Texan Board of Education
Edited on Sat Oct-16-10 10:56 AM by TheBigotBasher
because in the debate she was only able to come with the words "Obamacare" and "tax cuts". If I were her I'd sue but she probably thinks that all lawyers are closet marxists.

5. These teabaggers are particularly fond of talking out of
both sides of their mouth at the same time. And nobody in the MSM calls them on it. Disgusting!
