POLITIFACT: GOP U.S. Senate candidate Frank Lasee says study predicts most in Wisconsin to pay over 30 percent more under 'Obamacare'
The 15-year state lawmaker made an attention-grabbing claim about federal health reforms, which he and other Republicans label as "Obamacare," in an opinion piece published Jan. 9, 2012. Writing in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Lasee referenced a study of President Barack Obama’s initiative on Wisconsin. He said that according to the study, "nearly 90 percent of people with (health) insurance will have their costs go up by more than 30 percent." (JOURNAL SENTINEL, 1/23)
