"Stop playing partisan politics and put Wisconsin first, for once."

Scott Walker and Donald Trump.

MADISON As Scott Walker continues to fight with his own party about the best way to fund education, transportation, and massive tax cuts for the wealthy, he announced his support for Senate Republican efforts to expandTrumpcaresunfunded mandate, putting undue strain on Wisconsins state budget.

Walker has said he supports Senator Johnsons joining with Senators Cruz and Paul who say the massive cuts to Medicaid included in the Senate version dont go far enough.

Governor Walker joined with other conservatives in calling for additional cuts to health care, I think they need to change it, and I think they will. Also noting that he hopes Senator Ron Johnson will hold his position strong until they amend the bill.

Who would these huge cuts impact? TrumpCare ends the Medicaid guarantee, by capping federal Medicaid funding, jeopardizing health care coverage for more than 1.2 million Wisconsinites. Not only would the 35% of children in the state who rely on Medicaid have their medical care jeopardized, but so would 21% of seniors and people with disabilities in Wisconsin [Center on Budget and Policy Priorities Factsheet,4/13/17].

Governor Walker, Wisconsins children, seniors and disabled dont deserve this cruelty coming from Washington. Stand up to your party in Washington and stop them from putting Wisconsins most vulnerable on the chopping block to pay for more tax giveawaysforthe insurance corporations benefiting most from the establishment. Stop playing partisan politics and put Wisconsin first, for once, said Democratic Party of Wisconsin spokesman Brandon Weathersby.
