Wisconsin Republican Rep Tom Tiffany, who is also a gubernatorial candidate stopped in Milwaukee to pick up a meaningless endorsement from the right wing front group called the Milwaukee Police Association. While there, he was apparently not in a hurry to get back to Washington, DC to vote on reopening the government or releasing the Epstein files, and took some time for a Q & A session.
Channel 58 reporter A.J. Bayatpour asked him directly about the ACA and whether he would help Americans:
BAYATPOUR: Specifically on the question of expanding the subsidies that Democrats shut down the government over, if there’s a vote on the floor to extend those tax credits, what’s your vote?
TIFFANY: We need to go back and review the ACA. I mean, I don’t accept the premise of your question there, AJ, that we simply should do one or the other. We can do better by saying, “Okay, this is not working. Let’s sit down and get some alternatives for the American people that are going to work for them to give them affordable health insurance.”
Because that’s the failure at this point. And so much of this is driven by the government failure that has mandates in place that don’t give people more choices. We’re all individuals in terms of our health care needs. We should all have individual choices. We don’t have that at this point as the ACA has unfolded.
