Statement

This week, as the country recognizes the 13th anniversary of the Affordable Care Act, Gov. Tony Evers will be visiting communities and providers across the state to highlight his 2023-25 biennial budget proposals to make significant investments to increase the access to and affordability of healthcare in Wisconsin.

"From supporting moms and babies to ensuring our kids have mental health supports at school to expanding BadgerCare and providing affordable coverage to tens of thousands of Wisconsinites, our budget works to expand access to quality, affordable healthcare across our state," said Gov. Evers. "Not only will expanding BadgerCare help save lives, improve health outcomes, and bring more than a billion dollars of savings to our state but it will also enable us to reinvest those savings into our healthcare systems, our communities, and our people. That's a win-win-win for Wisconsin, and it's long past time we join red and blue states across the country and get this done."
