Another point I wish I'd made...

...about "Healthy Wisconsin," the Democrats' socialized health care "plan." This one from Jo Egelhoff, up at Foxcities.net:

...cost savings for municipal employees, as claimed by Healthy Wisconsin proponents are for now, illusory, as most unions will demand supplemental policies and/or an equivalent quid pro quo. Also, the Alliance for Cities suggests that most municipal employees, paying premium contributions of 4.5% of their salary as called for by HW, would be paying more than they’re currently paying. Do you think Local 284 would stand for that?
