Words cannot begin to express my complete and utter disgust with the liberal members (of both parties) in the Wisconsin State Legislature and this thieving governor, and the regressive members of the US Congress and the lying president.
There could be easy solutions to health care but the elected officials cannot stop lying about how awful it will be without their hand in it as they salivate over even more money coming into government for them to use as their personal expense fund to travel, accessorize and bribe silence and loyalty to “the cause.”
As long as any government entity has anything to do with health care the taxpayers are going to continue being financially raped in greater increments by these greedy, incompetent scum. If you are looking for an example of what they would do if they were in charge of the other 50% of health care in this country look no further than Medicaid and Medicare.
As for Wisconsin, in 1975 physicians, hospitals and other health care professionals came up with a unique way to keep malpractice insurance low. They worked with insurance companies and started a patient compensation fund. Any physician practicing in Wisconsin pays a mandatory annual fee to the fund to be used to compensate patients or family members for any mistakes in their medical care.
For over 30 years the system worked well. Every year money came into the fund from the medical community and every year money was paid from the fund to patients who had medical incidents. As long as there was enough money in the fund insurance companies kept malpractice fees down.
Then Governor Doyle, who earned the name of Diamond Jim though his extravagant spending of taxpayers money and special deals with the Indian Tribes, needed more money.
All his high living left the state over budget again. He had already raided other funds so he turned to the Patient Compensation Fund. This, despite the “ironclad” agreement by the legislature that the fund would never be touched except for the purpose it was set up for in the first place.
How much did he take? 200 MILLION DOLLARS! The physicians in charge of the fund sued to keep him from stealing the money but too many judges in this state think they can make law too. Another law suit for return of the funds is in court now. Unfortunately, even if they win, the coffers have been sucked dry by Diamond Jim and the liberals in the legislature.
Will the state ever return the money that came not from taxpayers, but private citizen donors? Do pigs reside in the state and federal legislative seats? Oops. Bad analogy. The money will be returned when the pigs get out of government.
This crop of slime legislatures in the Federal and Wisconsin legislature have already left the country in dire financial straits. Diamond Jim is not running again, there is no money left to steal and his poll numbers are low. But he has already dug the hole for the taxpayers, once again, to try and fill until the next “progressive” comes along

Thank goodness Doyle is not running again. His irresponsible, shady dealings have dug Wisconsin into a deep, dark hole. I'm looking forward to the next election.
