Citizen Action and Tony Evers hold health care media event
This week Citizen Action joined with Democratic governor candidate Tony Evers to put a spotlight on Gov. Walker 8 years of sabotaging access to healthcare. The event was at a health clinic in Milwaukee where they have seen a rise in patients as a result of Walker’s and the GOP’s relentless attacks on the Affordable care Act. There was a large media turnout for the event.
Evers committed to accept the federal Medicaid money on his first day as governor and will work to expand BadgerCare through a public option on the healthcare marketplace. Evers’s first TV ad, which began this week, focuses on Walker’s horrendous healthcare record.
