Pat Kreitlow’s friends try to cover up his plans to cut Medicare

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) has a new TV ad on the air today trying to cover up Pat Kreitlow’s support for their plan to cut $716 billion from Medicare to pay for their government takeover of healthcare. Wisconsin families aren’t fooled by these claims that earned PolitiFact National’s Lie of the Year award and that Politifact Wisconsin called “false and ridiculous.”

Here are the facts:

• Pat Kreitlow called ObamaCare which includes over $700 billion in Medicare Cuts a “tremendous advancement.”

• Kreitlow said “without a doubt” he supports ObamaCare and its board of unelected bureaucrats that have the power to deny care and increase costs on Wisconsin seniors. (The Post-Crescent, 3/26/2012)

NRCC COMMENT: “Independent fact-checkers agree, politician Pat Kreitlow’s desperate campaign to distract from his support of ObamaCare’s cuts to Medicare are ‘false and ridiculous.’ It’s no wonder his DC friends have to repeat the lie of the year in order to defend Kreitlow’s Medicare cuts and his support for the largest tax increase in Wisconsin history.”– NRCC Spokeswoman Andrea Bozek
