Republicans to Raise the Business Cost of Employee Health Care, and will later blame Obamacare. Oops, we weren't supposed to know?

Making any kind of Medicare concession it completely out of the question for me, and polls overwhelmingly agree.

Wisconsin voters aren't standing still for it either. Here's WKOW's Greg Neumann:
