The Health Care debate has turned personal in the race for Wisconsin's next lieutenant governor. Republican nominee Rebecca Kleefisch talks about her successful battle with cancer in a new T.V. ad that also blasts Health Care Reform.

Rebecca Kleefisch uses her personal battle with colon cancer in a new T.V. ad, and uses the experience to repeat her views that successful treatment could have been marred by government run health care.

"Thanks to the highest quality health care system in the world , I won my battle with cancer," Kleefisch said. "I actually have private health insurance through my husband's employer. What I'm opposed to is a government takeover of health care."

But, Kleefisch's democratic opponent, Tom Nelson, and others take issue with a key omission in the ad; her husband is a state representative whose health coverage comes through state government.

"It is one of the worst examples of hypocrisy that i have witnessed in a long time. Rebecca Kleefisch owes her health to a government supported health care plan," Nelson said.

Both Kleefisch and Nelson agree that health care coverage needs to be expanded, however, Kleefisch supports market based approaches.

"Eliminating taxes on HSA's. Health care solutions like allowing people to purchase health insurance across state lines," Kleefisch said.

Nelson supported a bill to give other's coverage available to lawmakers. "That would have opened up the state insurance pool to small businesses and other Wisconsinites who can't access affordable health insurance," he said.

How voters respond to these different approaches will be determined at the polls in three weeks.
