http://www.onewisconsinnow.org/page/community/group_rss/EauClaireforHealthCare Supporters of the Eau Claire Health Care Referendum and health care reform in general The Center for American Progress Action Fund (CAPAF) released a new report today which shows that Senator John McCain’s proposed health care plan would threaten the employer-based health benefits of 3.3 million people in Wisconsin. To make matters even worse, his plan could cause as many as 415,000 Wisconsinites to actually lose their health care coverage. These findings were consistent with the analysis that the Economic Policy Institute has done on the proposed McCain plan. The CAPAF study is being released this week as part of a coordinated effort by Change to Win, Service Employees International Union (SEIU), One Wisconsin Now, Citizen Action Wisconsin, and Health Care for America Now (HCAN) to educate voters in Wisconsin about the impact of the McCain health care plan on millions of families already struggling under the combined impact of the banking and health care crises. Although John McCain often rails against taxes, his health care plan would create a new one on working families by making employer-provided health benefits part of their taxable income. Not only would the plan serve as a disincentive for employers to provide health insurance, but the study also found that it would raise taxes on millions of Wisconsin families. A typical Wisconsin family could pay almost $1,500 more in taxes by 2013 if McCain imposes both income and payroll taxes on their health coverage. http://www.onewisconsinnow.org/page/community/post/coryliebmann/CHjf http://www.onewisconsinnow.org/page/community/post/coryliebmann/CHjf/commentary#comments Wed, 01 Oct 2008 12:56:03 EDT http://www.onewisconsinnow.org/page/community/post/coryliebmann/CHjf Cory @ One Wisconsin Now http://www.onewisconsinnow.org/page/community/profile_picture/9ad40ac09a26a36f86_dlqmv2gn9.jpg Cory @ One Wisconsin Now 1 http://www.onewisconsinnow.org/page/community/comment_rss/CHjf/ With ordinary Americans increasingly struggling under the combined impact of the banking and health care crises, the Center for American Progress Action Fund is preparing to release a report detailing how the McCain health care plan would increase the burden on middle-class families in Wisconsin. The report, which will be released Wednesday at a joint press conference held by Change to Win, SEIU, Citizen Action Wisconsin, and the Wisconsin AFL-CIO, will detail the number of Wisconsinites expected to lose employer-sponsored health insurance under John McCain's health care plan. It also details the tax hike middle class families would experience over four years under John McCain's health care plan. Center for American Progress Action Fund Senior Fellow James Kvaal will join Wisconsin Lieutenant Governor Barbara Lawton, AFL-CIO Wisconsin President David Newby, and Citizen Action Wisconsin Director of Program Robert Craig, to discuss what the McCain health plan means for Wisconsin.

Now he is a glorified shill for corporate interests at the right wing Wisconsin Policy Research Institute. Thursday corporate interests attacked the $2-billion-saving “ Healthy Wisconsin ” plan through their chosen outlet. Before taking WPRI’s rantings too seriously, perhaps one should first consider the source, because Lightbourn has zero credibility on sound budgeting and related issues. When George Lightbourn was working for Governor McCallum, he played a major role in digging our state into a historic budget deficit . Then they had the bright idea of selling off $6 billion in future tobacco settlement payments for only a short term fix to a budgetary problem that he helped cause in the first place. Certainly his advice is not the kind that we needed then and it is definitely not now for this health care crisis. Lightbourn twists himself into an ideological pretzel in his recent attack on the savings provided by the Healthy Wisconsin plan. Conveniently Lightbourn provides no real healthcare reform, rather he only attacks the bold initiative of the State Senate. In the attack of Healthy Wisconsin, he makes clear that he disapproves of hugely successful government healthcare programs like Medicare, BadgerCare and SeniorCare. This extreme position is not only a purely ideologically driven one but also is totally out of step with the vast majority of people that have greatly benefited from such successful programs. http://www.onewisconsinnow.org/page/community/post/coryliebmann/CHGY http://www.onewisconsinnow.org/page/community/post/coryliebmann/CHGY/commentary#comments Fri, 20 Jun 2008 14:09:47 EDT http://www.onewisconsinnow.org/page/community/post/coryliebmann/CHGY Cory @ One Wisconsin Now http://www.onewisconsinnow.org/page/community/profile_picture/9ad40ac09a26a36f86_dlqmv2gn9.jpg Cory @ One Wisconsin Now 0 http://www.onewisconsinnow.org/page/community/comment_rss/CHGY/ Conservatives sing the praises of “the market” when it comes to many issues. More recently they have applied their theories to health care. Unfortunately their calls for a “market driven” solution consist of little more than promoting health savings accounts. Frankly, the verdict of “the market” has already come in and it has determined that HSA’s primarily benefit the wealthy. This is certainly no surprise to progressives who have been pointing this fact out for several years. In yet another study of HSA’s , the Government Accountability Office found that they are being used by more affluent households as tax shelters. It found that the average adjusted gross income of tax filers who made HSA contributions was $139,000 as compared to $57,000 for all other tax filers. The study also found that many HSA participants appear to be using their accounts as a tax shelter rather than paying for out-of-pocket health care costs. The GAO found that 41 percent of tax filers reporting HSA contributions in 2005 did not withdraw any funds from their accounts at any time during the year. Even after the constant harping about HSA’s being the best thing since sliced bread, it has failed to catch on in “the market” as a whole. The only popular “market” for HSA’s appears to be the wealthy who are in search of more tax shelters. Although conservatives always chant the mantra of letting “the market speak,” they are choosing to ignore its voice on health savings accounts. http://www.onewisconsinnow.org/page/community/post/coryliebmann/C24k http://www.onewisconsinnow.org/page/community/post/coryliebmann/C24k/commentary#comments Tue, 20 May 2008 17:33:44 EDT http://www.onewisconsinnow.org/page/community/post/coryliebmann/C24k Cory @ One Wisconsin Now http://www.onewisconsinnow.org/page/community/profile_picture/9ad40ac09a26a36f86_dlqmv2gn9.jpg Cory @ One Wisconsin Now 0 http://www.onewisconsinnow.org/page/community/comment_rss/C24k/ During the month of May Labor 2008 will kick off its biggest mobilization effort. Union activists all around this country will be talking to union households about Sen. McCain’s anti-worker record. In Wisconsin people will be busy recruiting for member-to-member walks and phone banks. The walks begin Saturday May 10th in Milwaukee and May 17th in Wausau, Green Bay, Kenosha, Madison, Eau Claire and La Crosse. Much of the effort will focus on John McCain’s healthcare plan and how it leaves Working Families on Their Own. Soaring health care costs are forcing wages down for people lucky enough to have insurance. Another 47 million are uninsured. Although John McCain says he intends to combat rising costs, his proposals protect insurance company profits at the expense of working families. http://www.onewisconsinnow.org/page/community/post/coryliebmann/C2PY http://www.onewisconsinnow.org/page/community/post/coryliebmann/C2PY/commentary#comments Thu, 08 May 2008 12:52:15 EDT http://www.onewisconsinnow.org/page/community/post/coryliebmann/C2PY Cory @ One Wisconsin Now http://www.onewisconsinnow.org/page/community/profile_picture/9ad40ac09a26a36f86_dlqmv2gn9.jpg Cory @ One Wisconsin Now 0 http://www.onewisconsinnow.org/page/community/comment_rss/C2PY/ A new Badger Poll released Tuesday examined Wisconsinites’ opinions on health care reform. Once again it served as another reminder that conservatives are completely out of touch with the average person. Conservatives are perpetually complaining about government programs but 76 percent of respondents favored expanding the eligibility of programs such as BaderCare and Medicaid. Although conservatives chant their “socialist” mantra whenever a proposed reform includes a government component, 61 percent of Wisconsinites said that they favored replacing the current system with one totally run by the state government. Wisconsinites remember how conservatives ignored the healthcare crisis when they controlled the entire legislature and now they are rejecting their narrow ideologies on the subject. This new poll shows that the constant conservative talking points on healthcare are not working. The public wants substance and solutions to our healthcare crisis not blind ideology and bumper sticker slogans. http://www.onewisconsinnow.org/page/community/post/coryliebmann/C2P7 http://www.onewisconsinnow.org/page/community/post/coryliebmann/C2P7/commentary#comments Wed, 07 May 2008 11:27:57 EDT http://www.onewisconsinnow.org/page/community/post/coryliebmann/C2P7 Cory @ One Wisconsin Now http://www.onewisconsinnow.org/page/community/profile_picture/9ad40ac09a26a36f86_dlqmv2gn9.jpg Cory @ One Wisconsin Now 0 http://www.onewisconsinnow.org/page/community/comment_rss/C2P7/ The Wisconsin Federation of Nurses and Health Professionals released the results of a survey Monday. It was about the working conditions faced by nurses in the Metro-Milwaukee area. The survey was taken from over 1,500 nurses and reveals that working conditions are leading to worsening quality of care issues. A key to the problem are the high workloads, forced overtime, and even going without meal breaks. According to the survey, these things are widespread and are contributing to errors in patient care. Over 500 of the nurses gave specific examples of errors that have occurred as a result of nurse fatigue. While the staffing problems are creating safety issues all across the healthcare system, the issues at hospitals are the most severe. Over ninety percent of hospital nurses in the survey say that there are units in their hospital that they believe are actually unsafe for patients. Seventy percent of hospital nurses say that they would worry about their own families receiving care at their own hospitals. http://www.onewisconsinnow.org/page/community/post/coryliebmann/C2PT http://www.onewisconsinnow.org/page/community/post/coryliebmann/C2PT/commentary#comments Tue, 06 May 2008 11:32:17 EDT http://www.onewisconsinnow.org/page/community/post/coryliebmann/C2PT Cory @ One Wisconsin Now http://www.onewisconsinnow.org/page/community/profile_picture/9ad40ac09a26a36f86_dlqmv2gn9.jpg Cory @ One Wisconsin Now 1 http://www.onewisconsinnow.org/page/community/comment_rss/C2PT/ Next week John McCain is planning to give a number of speeches on health care. His plan will probably not give adequate focus to one of our largest problems in the area of health care, the 47 million Americans that are uninsured. It would also be wise to take note of who benefits most from McCain’s coming plan. If John McCain’s health care plan is a boon for the big insurance and drug companies, one can hardly be surprised given McCain’s history and relationships to those industries. Since 1990, he has received $3,883,226 from the healthcare, insurance, and pharmaceutical industries. Further, it should be noted that his fundraising from these industries has dramatically increased since he began running for president last year. Not only has the heath/insurance/pharmaceutical industries contributed these massive amounts to McCain but they have also produced lobbyists that have been very helpful to his political efforts. A total of 38 lobbyists from the industries are listed as fundraisers, co-hosts of events, or actual staffers for McCain’s campaign. At least six staffers – Charlie Black, Doug Davenport, Carlos Bonilla, Kirsten Chadwick, Bryan Cunningham, and John Green – are lobbyists for health industry companies. http://www.onewisconsinnow.org/page/community/post/coryliebmann/C2PZ http://www.onewisconsinnow.org/page/community/post/coryliebmann/C2PZ/commentary#comments Fri, 25 Apr 2008 17:31:24 EDT http://www.onewisconsinnow.org/page/community/post/coryliebmann/C2PZ Cory @ One Wisconsin Now http://www.onewisconsinnow.org/page/community/profile_picture/9ad40ac09a26a36f86_dlqmv2gn9.jpg Cory @ One Wisconsin Now 0 http://www.onewisconsinnow.org/page/community/comment_rss/C2PZ/ I just wanted to take a moment to explain how to sign up for this group, for "My Own Page" on our site and how to use the available tools successfully.

Kudos and huzzahs and hooray for these two candidates who are willing to step forward and lead on this important issue! Contrast the attitude and integrity of these two candidates who are willing to step up and unambiguously state their position with the behavior of the "cut and runners" who ditched the League of Women Voters forum the other night.

The editorial also commends the county supervisors who voted to place this item on the ballot. Eau Claire for Health Care would also like to thank these officials and especially the supervisors who sponsored the resolution including Bruce Willett, Colleen Bates, Sue Miller, Jerry Willkie, Gregg Moore, and Will Fantle. Now if we only can get this kind of leadership from our legislators.

Well, Eau Claire for Health Care surveyed 25 area legislative candidates on whether or not they supported the Eau Claire Health Care Referendum and compiled a list of supporters that we call...drum roll please..."Legislative Health Care Leaders."

Terry Musser--92nd Assembly District Curtis Miller--92nd Assembly District Jeff Smith--93rd Assembly District John Sarnowski--94th Assembly District Since the first step in health care leadership is to pass the referendum telling the legislature to get off its collective butt and take action, these candidates are the leaders! http://www.onewisconsinnow.org/page/community/post/tomahrens/Vjn http://www.onewisconsinnow.org/page/community/post/tomahrens/Vjn/commentary#comments Wed, 25 Oct 2006 16:12:24 EDT http://www.onewisconsinnow.org/page/community/post/tomahrens/Vjn tahrens http://www.onewisconsinnow.org/page/community/profile_picture/80e0c7d1e2db43fade_pnamv2zey.jpg tahrens 2 http://www.onewisconsinnow.org/page/community/comment_rss/Vjn/ What do the League of Women Voters, American Association of University Women, Wisconsin Alliance for Women's Health, and Women in Higher Education have in common? They all have women members? They are all interested in issues affecting women? They support an informed electorate and thereby build democracy by sponsoring candidate forums? NO! According to Ron Brown, Dave Zien, Rob Kreibich, and Terry Moulton you are wrong if you chose any of these. What these respected groups have in common is that they are all biased. So biased, in fact, that these gentleman all took a pass on the candidate forum sponsored by these groups. According to these distinguished members of the do-nothing legislature a good conservative cannot get a fair shake with these crazy left-wing radical groups like the League of Women Voters. Do you think that this might just be a red-herring designed to get these guys out of a debate where they may have to defend their do-nothing records or where they may be asked why they haven't done anything on health care while 90,000 children are uninsured?

I am certainly happy to hear that Zien is finally willing to address the issue of skyrocketing health care costs in Wisconsin. However I must say that there seems to be a strong hint of Johnny-come-lately here. Zien has been a part of this do-nothing legislature that would not allow an up or down vote on any of the health care proposals that already exist. Now after he has seen the grassroots efforts of fed-up citizens, he has finally decided to speak. I will look forward to tomorrow's paper which I hope carefully spells out the plan that Tommy helped the Senator cook up. In any case, I suspect that the feeling of his constituents might be one of too little too late. http://www.onewisconsinnow.org/page/community/post/coryliebmann/Vjt http://www.onewisconsinnow.org/page/community/post/coryliebmann/Vjt/commentary#comments Fri, 20 Oct 2006 12:34:57 EDT http://www.onewisconsinnow.org/page/community/post/coryliebmann/Vjt Cory @ One Wisconsin Now http://www.onewisconsinnow.org/page/community/profile_picture/9ad40ac09a26a36f86_dlqmv2gn9.jpg Cory @ One Wisconsin Now 0 http://www.onewisconsinnow.org/page/community/comment_rss/Vjt/ Eau Claire for Health Care Coalition member, UWEC Progressive Student Assn. is one of the sponsors of a Rally and march for peace and justice, specifically in opposition to the marriage and civil union ban and the death penalty referendum and in support of accessible, affordable health care and the Eau Claire Health Care Referendum.

In the most recent chapter of "What Everyone in Wisconsin Knows but the Legislature" the survey showed that 63% of the people blame the high profits of the pharmaceutical and insurance industries for the outrageous cost of health care. The poll also shows Jim Doyle holding a lead over Mark Green, in part because of a belief that he will be stronger in handling health care issues. People making voting decisions based on a candidate's stand on health care issues is exactly what we want to see at Eau Claire for Health Care. Maybe our work is starting to pay off.
