Guest: Katherine Hempstead

A new analysis from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the Urban Institute shows Wisconsin hospitals would see a $3 BILLION reduction in spending over the next decade under the big, bloated budget boondoggle under consideration by Congress. That would lead to a $900 million increase in uncompensated care in Wisconsin hospitals—which will lead some of them to close and make the healthcare crisis even worse in some hometowns. We’ll talk to Katherine Hempstead, Senior Policy Advisor at the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.
