Healthcare, Hospital Funding Tied up in Political Knots

Healthcare, Hospital Funding Tied up in Political Knots

Governor Evers is going on the air to ding Republicans for not giving him 15 million-dollars for western Wisconsin’s hospitals.

The governor used his weekly radio address yesterday to bash the Republican-controlled Joint Finance Committee for not releasing the emergency funding that the governor signed-off on weeks ago. Republicans approved that money to go to hospitals in the Chippewa Valley to replace the emergency room services that disappeared when HSHS closed its hospitals in Eau Claire and Chippewa Falls.

The governor changed that plan, and instead wants to let other hospitals in the area spend that money on other services.
