Conservatively Speaking

State Senator Mary Lazich (R-New Berlin) represents parts of four counties: Milwaukee, Waukesha, Racine, and Walworth. Her Senate District 28 includes New Berlin, Franklin, Greendale, Hales Corners, Muskego, Waterford, Big Bend and parts of Greenfield, East Troy, and Mukwonago. Senator Lazich has been in the Legislature for more than a decade. She considers herself a tireless crusader for lower taxes, reduced spending and smaller government.

Watch the hastily convened Senate Health Committee hearing on universal health care

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.

You can see the entire hearing here.

The segment where I question Erpenbach begins about 22:40 into the video.

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.
