Senator Tammy Baldwin was at Belen Hospital in Green Bay saying the Republican backed law could cut off Medicaid for over 270,000 Wisconsinites. Most individuals who are able to work on Medicaid already work.

Baldwin says the law also shrinks the signup window for Affordable Care act coverage, meaning even more people could lose insurance. (00:29–00:45)
