Waiting for GOP's Repeal and Replace
from Battleground Wisconsin · host Brian Wooldridge
After repeated, bold, and blustery promises to repeal the Affordable Care Act on day one, Congressional Republican’s moved tepidly this week to start the process of yanking funding for health coverage with no plan or timeline for replacement. After digging into the impossible predicament Republicans have made for themselves on health care, we welcome State Representative Eric Genrich (D - Green Bay) to discuss what to expect from the GOP in in the new legislative session, and how progressive Democrats can counter them with an alternative vision for the state. We also discuss Walker’s DNR cleansing of climate change from its website, the lack of a candidate to run against Justice Annette Zeigler for her State Supreme Court seat, and the deal pro-voucher DPI Candidate John Humphries cut with the Dodgeville School District to be paid $650/day while he runs full-time for State Superintendent.
