Today's ugly House vote defines Paul Ryab's ugly Speakership

He's finally able to squeeze out a majority GOP vote among his substantial majority caucus by promising to screw millions of Americans out of health care coverage they need to keep themselves and their families alive.

So that some GOP members can withstand challenges from even farther right-wing primary opponents.

And to give the Donald Trump he supported in 2016 a win on paper regardless of the consequences for poor and lower-income citizens, pregnant women, diabetic children.

It's incorrect to call such situations "pre-existing conditions."

They are human conditions.

Everyone sooner or later finds themselves with illness - - it's just that some conditions are more visible than others, and Governors and a handful of legislators should not be given the life-and-death power to 'opt out' their entire state from health care services and technologies that right now is just down the street.

Who wants Scott Walker and Robin Pos and Scott Fitzgerald playing doctor for your kids or your siblings?

Shameful day for the country and particularly for once-progressive Wisconsin.
