NO THANKS, RUSS!

NOT IN WISCONSIN!

I don't want my loved ones to serve as your guinea pigs in your universal health care experiment.

I don't want to be part of your pilot program to socialize medicine and fall victim to a Canadian-style health care hell.

Press release

Feingold’s State-Based Health Care Reform Act:

Gives flexibility and assistance to the states to achieve universal health care. States are not required to adopt a certain program but are instead given the flexibility to achieve universal coverage through any means deemed appropriate by the state. Coverage must meet certain minimum standards and must include protections for low-income people.

Authorizes funding for pilot projects to launch in a few states to achieve universal health care for all their residents. The pilot programs would last for five years and would be funded through a grant application program overseen by a Health Care Reform Task Force. The Health Care Reform Task Force would evaluate state applications, select state projects, oversee implementation of the states’ proposals and review progress.

Would cost $32 billion over ten years and is fully paid for through offsets, making funding available right away and allowing the program to take effect immediately. The Task Force will be authorized to select as many states as can be funded.

Are you listening to me, Russ?

NO THANKS!
