Sensenbrenner’s attack

During his town hall meetings, Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner displays phenomenal memory for details concerning any manner of legislative enactments that have occurred throughout his years in office and beyond.

So what happened to similar astuteness in his opinion piece as he left out key elements when bemoaning Anthem’s retraction from providing health insurance in Wisconsin (“Anthem’s withdrawal is latest Obamacare failure in Wisconsin,” June 25)?

Let me suggest the congressman’s attack on Obamacare is nothing more than a diversionary projection away from an onerous replacement bill offered by him and his majority member colleagues in the House of Representatives. Sensenbrenner’s selective memory fails to acknowledge policymakers’ culpability in the fiasco of health care uncertainty felt by people across this country.

Meanwhile, Congress and the executive are showered by U.S. citizens with the best health care available while remaining clueless about the consternation caused everyone else by their myopic ineptitude resulting from partisan divides incapable of getting adequate health care structures from Obamacare onward to the current spate of legislative garbage coming from the House and Senate.

Their misplaced efforts will have consequences in the electorate, I predict.
