We need a change. The Affordable Care Act, better known as Obamacare, has failed the people of our nation. We must work together to find solutions benefiting all American citizens.
Governors, and the states we lead, are more effective, efficient, and accountable for the people we serve. Our state took a
unique approach to navigating Obamacare and for the first time in Wisconsin
history, our reforms allowed us to cover everyone living in poverty under
Medicaid.
In fact, according to
the Kaiser Family Foundation, Wisconsin is the only state in the nation without
a gap in coverage and ranks among the best states in the nation for health
insurance coverage.
Even though we did not
take the Obamacare Medicaid expansion, we actually outrank most of the states
who did take it, and every one of the other states that did not.
We recently introduced
our Wisconsin Works for Everyone welfare reform package, which focuses on
removing barriers to employment, helping build skills through hands-on jobs
training, and encouraging people to reach their true potential through the
dignity that comes from work.
Here in Wisconsin, we
respect and reward hard work. In case you missed it, here’s what people are
saying about Wisconsin Works for Everyone:
We enjoy sharing all the great news about our state with you. It is an honor to serve as your Governor and represent the people of Wisconsin.
Sincerely,
Governor Scott Walker
