Maggie exposes the political maneuvers undermining support for Wisconsin’s veterans and healthcare system. Representative Amaad Rivera-Wagner joins to discuss the defunding of the Veteran Housing and Recovery Program, pointing to partisan gridlock driven by Robin Vos and state GOP leadership. Despite bipartisan backing, critical funding for unhoused veterans remains blocked by the MAGA movement. On the healthcare front, Maggie warns of skyrocketing ACA premiums, fueled by Trump-era policies and a loophole expanding catastrophic coverage. She calls for legislative action to reinstate subsidies and urges immediate intervention by the Office of the Commissioner of Insurance. Let the OCI know what you think about increased premiums. Contact their office by phone (608) 266-3585 or email ocicomplaints@wisconsin.gov.
