Republicans end Evers’ Medicaid Session in less than Minute

Frederica Freyberg:

Now to the state Capitol where as expected, Republicans took less than a minute Tuesday to open and close Governor Evers’ special session on Medicaid expansion. Evers’ proposal would have added Wisconsin to the list of 38 other states that have expanded Medicaid as part of the Affordable Care Act. The bill would have opened the door to $1 billion in federal funds. Republicans claim Wisconsinites have good healthcare options now.
