Even outsiders know Walker/Kleefisch are lying about the ACA and pre-existing conditions


Even the folks in DC are paying attention to the latest desperate lies coming out of the Walker campaign. This time, it's about the claim that somehow Walker and WisGOP would still protect Wisconsinites from losing coverage due to pre-existing conditions if the Affordable Care Act's protections were taken away.





With the GOP, always watch what they do, not what they say.

Let me add that it's especially disgusting that the Walker gang are bringing out Lt. Gov Oconomowoc Barbie to try to sneak this lie past voters. Like somehow the fact that Kleefisch got her cancer treatements paid for under the state health care plan that her legislator husband had is remotely relevant to the circumstances of most Wisconsinites. Unlike Wisconsinites who get their coverage through ACA exchanges or other private coverage, Kleefisch never faced the prospect of having to be priced out of services due to insurance companies turning her down.

It's disgusting arrogance and cynicism to use Kleefisch's gender and onetime cancer affliction to hide what the Walkerites want to do. And as a couple of Twitter associates from Wisconsin noted, the word play done by the Walker types on the ACA tells you they have no intent of following through with their pre-election promises.





There's one obvious reason why Walker and Kleefisch are lying so much about what they'd do with health care protections- because being against the ACA is a loser, what they want to do with health care and insurance is a loser, and they are losing in the Governor's election.

  1. Add Wisconsin-raised Bradley Whitford to the list of national observers exposing the shamelessness of Walker and Kleefisch.

    And Evers followed with a great call-out today, challenging Walker to match his words on protecting pre-existing conditions with actions, while knowing full well that Gov Unintimidated won't be man enough to do it.
