A Public Option for Wisconsin? Healthcare, Work, and Immigration

from Point Taken with Steve Scaffidi & Kristin Brey

Kristin Brey is joined by Lieutenant Governor Sara Rodriguez for an in-depth discussion on her proposal for a Wisconsin healthcare public option, how it would work alongside existing programs, and what happens if political gridlock stands in the way. Kristin also presses the lieutenant governor on legislative strategy and how she’s making the case to undecided voters. Later, WRTP | Big Step CEO Lindsay Blumer joins in-studio to explain how workforce intermediaries, apprenticeships, and employer partnerships are modernizing Wisconsin’s labor market. Kristin wraps up with results from the Extra Points immigration survey, a look at shifting public opinion, a comparison to Spain’s new immigration policy, and a spotlight on a Wisconsin high school team heading to nationals.
