4. I am one of the citizens of Wisconsin thrown off of Medicaid.

I was thrown off with out warning on the day in 2014 Obamacare enrollment ended. Tens of thousands of us were (87,000 if I remember right).
I have rewritten this 4 times. No matter what I write, I have no documentation I can show you.

Being a poor person in Wisconsin under Walker and his Libertarian Overlords (David Koch among them) is increasingly onerous. The meager social safety net is being strained by greater numbers of us relying on it as well as a dedicated effort to gut the safety nets funding by the followers of Ayn Rand.

The context of his quoted statement is; Scott Walker has Libertarian Overlords who are using Wisconsin as a laboratory to try out different strategies to undo FDR's progressive policies. The same thing is going on in Kansas with near identical results (Wisconsin's debt crisis has yet to ripen. Wait a year).
