The latest proposal for Wisconsin’s healthcare workforce would have the state spend a lot more money.
The Governor’s Task Force on the Healthcare Workforce released its final report yesterday. The 75-page report doesn’t include a specific price tag, but it asks for more money for new nurses, nurses who are already on the job, apprenticeships, healthcare education, and frontline staffers. There are some recommendations to deregulate Wisconsin’s healthcare rules, but most of the focus of the report is finding a way for the state to support more training, more education, and more workforce goals. Governor Evers says he supports the proposal, but he’s not saying where he plans to find the new money.
