PETER IMES General Manager ZACK PLAIR, Managing Editor BETH PROFFITT Advertising Director The MICHAEL FLOYD Circulation/Production Manager Opinion Dispatch MARY ANN HARDY Controller SLIMANTICS Wicker determined to hew party line on health insurance Roger Wicker is a pleasant fellow. Polite, earnest, quick to smile. The junior U.S. Senator from Mis- sissippi is likable. He is also predictable, which isn’t always the best of traits. Wicker came to Columbus Tuesday Slim Smith and spoke briefly to the Columbus Rotary Club before moving to the next room at the Lion Hills center to address the Lowndes County Republican Women. The hot topic was health care and if the audience was looking for someone to regurgitate the Republican talking points, no one left disappointed. You can count on Wicker to always toe the party line. Wicker said he was disappointed, but not discouraged, by last month’s vote on a Senate plan to repeal and replace Obamacare, which fell one short vote of passage. Take heart, Wicker said Tuesday. Wicker compared that defeat to Dunkirk, Britain’s heroic rescue of its Army from the shores of France, which is currently the subject of a popular movie. Just as the Brits recovered from a “setback” in its fight against the Germans, Republicans have suffered disappointment but will likewise rally heroically to save millions of Americans from having health insurance. The non-partisan Congressional Budget Office scored all three of the GOP’s pos- sible options for addressing health insur- ance. The House version was projected to take away health insurance from 26 million Americans over the next nine years. The Senate version would only strip 24 million Americans of health insurance. A repeal only option, considered by both the House and Senate, would end health care for 18 million people within a year and 32 million by 2026. Cuts to Medicaid would begin to de- crease within three years in both House and Senate versions and under the Senate plan Wicker voted for, people closest to MISSISSIPPI VOICES age 65 would pay five times more than the youngest people purchasing insurance on the marketplace.
