Interview with State Senator Kelda Roys for Governor

Published | Video Starts at 02:42

Well, I would say two things. Number one, we are about to see the collapse of healthcare, particularly in rural areas across the state. We have about 270,000 Wisconsinites that are projected to lose access to health insurance over the next couple of years. And that's an urgent problem, even if for people who are lucky enough to have private insurance, because it's going to force the closure of many rural hospitals and clinics, the loss of providers, and it's going to cause everyone else's insurance premiums to skyrocket.

CLAIM
