There is still much work to be done. We\u2019re going to spend the entire month of December working to bring relief for so many Americans who continue to experience daily hardships. Whether immediate fixes to the healthcare law, regulatory fixes for our rural communities or bringing job seekers and job holders together under one roof, read on for more about ways I am working on your behalf to make life a little easier, and hopefully a whole lot better, for our 7th\u00a0District community. Real problems require real solutions:\u00a0The number of Americans losing their health insurance continues to climb with estimates reaching tens of millions and some going up to 100 million. This week on the Floor of the House, I again talked about Denise, who is in need of a kidney transplant. I would prefer to fully repeal this law and replace it with an alternative, such as the one I\u00a0introduced,\u00a0but in the mean time, millions of Americans, like Denise, need a more immediate solution. I recently introduced\u00a0H.R.3621.\u00a0This bill would provide access to health insurance coverage of life-sustaining treatments furnished by certain providers and could mean the difference between life and death for many Americans in situations similar to Denise\u2019s. To watch a clip of my Floor remarks from PBS News Hour click on the image:\u00a0 Here are the jobs!\u00a0I hear so many people tell me I don't have the opportunity to get a good - better paying - job. And then I hear employers say I can't find good, skilled labor to fill the spots I have open. Monday\u2019s job fair in Wausau will bring those looking for jobs and those who are looking for employees under the same roof. Click on the image for more:\u00a0 \u00a0 Help our rural Wisconsin communities:\u00a0In the Financial Services Committee this week, we discussed legislation that would amend the CFPB\u2019s QM rule to more accurately determine rural communities in America: \u00a0 \u201cI live in rural America\u2026a lot of dairy there, a lot of farms in Central and Northern Wisconsin. If you look at the CFPB\u2019s QM rule in regard to balloon loans\u2026we have Douglas County in the northwest tip of Wisconsin\u2026outside of that little county where Superior is located, the whole county is rural. It is farms. [Under this rule] it is designated non-rural. The industry, the agriculture is all the same, but you only get these kinds of rules from bureaucrats in Washington who have no idea about our Wisconsin communities, our makeup, and how our economies work. When you have bureaucrats in Washington making decisions you see maps like the ones we have for the balloon loans that don\u2019t make sense.\u201d\u00a0To watch my full remarks from the hearing, click on the image: \u00a0 Thanks for taking the time to catch-up on the week that was.
