"No Wrong Door" — Right Fix? What Sets David Crowley Apart on Healthcare and More

Healthcare is the issue voters keep coming back to in this race, and Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley says it’s “a top issue if not THE top issue” for Wisconsinites. In this conversation, I sit down with Crowley to dig into his healthcare plan, including his “No Wrong Door” approach to mental health and crisis care, his proposal to open up BadgerCare as a true public option, and how he plans to pay for any of it given Wisconsin’s track record on Medicaid expansion. We also talk about the administrative failure that left Milwaukee County employees without health benefits (it actually didn’t), what it taught him, and — in a field with seven strong Democratic candidates — what he says actually sets him apart.
