Kind: Polarized Climate Won’t Fix Taxes, Health Care

Wisconsin’s longest serving U-S House Democrat says there’s no way that taxes and health care will be fixed in such a hyper partisan political climate. Ron Kind of La Crosse is in his 21st year in Congress, and he said on W-K-O-W T-V’s “Capital City Sunday” program he’s sick of the “political ping pong” on health care. Kind says President Donald Trump originally appeared to support a bipartisan compromise on restoring Obamacare tax subsidies for two years — but Trump later ran away from the deal in one of his tweets. Kind says lives are at stake while Trump does all he can to undermine Obamacare — and he says the latest G-O-P alternative costs more while insuring fewer people. Kind also slammed the Trump tax cut package, saying that small businesses would join the middle class in being hurt.
