Wisconsin GOP lieutenant governor candidate Rebecca Kleefisch praises, criticizes state health care | greenbaypressgazette.com | Green Bay Press Gazette
It's the greatest health care system in the world, if you can afford it.
MADISON Wisconsin Republican lieutenant governor candidate Rebecca Kleefisch, diagnosed with cancer a month ago, touts the treatments she received under her state-subsidized insurance plan at the same time she rails against government-run health care in a new television ad.
In the ad, which began airing statewide Tuesday, Kleefisch doesn't mention that her cancer treatments were paid for through the state-subsidized health insurance plan of her husband, state Rep. Joel Kleefisch, a Republican from Oconomowoc.
But Kleefisch does say that "thanks to the highest quality health care system in the world, I won my battle with cancer." Kleefisch pays $85 per month for her health insurance with the rest of the cost, $1,722, paid by the state.
It's the greatest health care system in the world, if you can afford it.
