The Racine Tea Party is hosting a public forum on the implications of the affordable care act from 2 to 4 p.m. Jan. 13 at 3047 SE Frontage Rd.
The event will feature: Mike Tanner, of the CATO Institute, U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Janesville), State Rep. Robin Vos (R-Rochester), State Sen. Leah Vukmir (R-Wauwatosa), and conservative radio talk show host Vicki McKenna.
“The Racine TEA Party wants the public to understand more about this massive new law, how it affects them and what it means to block a state-run exchange,” according to the release.
President Obama pushed through the 2,500 plus page, $1.93 trillion Healthcare Law with enormous tax implications and a loss of personal choice – on a partisan vote in the middle of a recession, according to a press release by the Racine Tea Party.
The vehicle to deliver the “government-regulated and standardized” healthcare plans is a state-based healthcare exchange. Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker (along with 34 other states) said he’s blocking the implementation of a state exchange and has “defaulted” the program to the federal government.
“Every day seems to bring a new revelation about how the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, aka,” Tanner stated in the release. “Obamacare, will affect taxpayers, businesses, doctors and patients. Every American needs to know exactly what is, and is not, part of this law in order to prepare themselves for the changes to come.”

Next up, gun control. My prediction: Higher taxes on everything to do with guns, mostly ammo. This federal gov't is out of control and the worst part is the media is helping! If you go to this meeting I'm sure you will be appalled at what you learn. Just don't look for the media to report it.
I agree Scott time for real tea party like the old days when there were real men not Avatars of fat elephants looking half commie red
We should have Universal Healthcare like every other developed nation. Those that have been denied health insurance appreciate this step in the right direction and I'm sure find your ignorant protest to be inane.
The Supreme Court upheld the Affordable Care Act, so get over that, too. Stop watching Fox News and get educated.
Times are changing, but these whiners want to go back to an idyllic time when women and people of color had no voice.
