On Monday morning, the state Senate Health Committee that I serve on held a public hearing on the Senate Democrats’ universal health care plan. As a committee member, I first got word about Monday’s hearing late last Friday, and didn’t see sketchy details of the plan until Monday morning.
I asked some rather pointed questions of the chief sponsor of the plan, state Senator John Erpenbach at Monday’s hearing. Erpenbach seems to avoid the questions and there is an attempt to cut off my questioning.

The Senate Democrat’s universal health care plan was included in the Senate version of the state budget approved Tuesday. I voted against the budget.
