Wisconsin Backing Away From PPACA
On Wednesday, January 18, Governor Walker announced the state is refusing $37 million dollars previously awarded by the Federal government to help build a health insurance exchange. The Governor has indicated that Wisconsin will proceed no further until the Supreme Court takes up the challenge to the constitutionality of the law.

"Stopping the encroachment of ObamaCare in our state, which has the potential to have a devastating impact on Wisconsin's economy, is a top priority. Wisconsin has been a leader and innovator in health care reform for two decades, and we have achieved a high level of health insurance coverage without federal mandates." said Gov. Walker.
