... Gee, ya think? Scott Walker’s government playing politics with people’s lives and livelihoods? Never!

I’ve written before about Walker’s attempt — in concert with national Republicans — to derail Obamacare, and I can’t help but think this is all part of that strategy.

Surely, the OCI wasn’t attempting to inform Wisconsinites about what’s coming; it was hoping to generate lurid headlines.

Here’s a link to the OCI’s press release, which details sharp estimated rate increases for people buying insurance in the individual market — including a gaudy 124% increase for 21-year-olds in the Madison area.

Well down the page, you’ll see the OCI’s sheepish acknowledgment that consumers will be eligible for subsidies to help them pay for insurance. So why only mention the subsidies in passing? Why not incorporate them into your estimates? Well, because 124% sounds so much scarier than a drastically lower number.......

We have an opportunity to cut the cost of health care and the bully GOP bunch is fighting so damn hard to prevent the cost from going down. Now does this make sense.
