Wisconsin, your Senator has a message for you

"Ron Johnson: People with preexisting condition don’t deserve insurance like ‘somebody who crashes their car’"

Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) suggested on Sunday that people with pre-existing conditions deserved to pay more for insurance because they were like cars that had been involved in an automobile accident.

During an interview on Meet the Press, host Chuck Todd noted that Republicans in the Senate had held no hearings on their health care bill and so they could not say for sure why insurance companies were abandoning some markets.

Johnson sidestepped the refusal to hold hearings and insisted that he already knows the answer “but nobody wants to talk about it.”

leading up to the election? No one I know does. Nor does anyone in Wisconsin believe that Trump actually beat Hillary. Our election was rigged, I'd bet money on it. We definitely have our share of ignorant idiots in Wisconsin, but many, many people are waiting for the cheat to be revealed.

Walker and his people are the Kings and Queens of graft, so it was probably a piece of cake to cheat in our State with no worry of anyone checking.

Fox "News" is like a national case of Alzheimer's, and like Alzheimer's, those that watch it get progressively and irreversibly dumber.
