MADISON - As part of the "Leah Vukmir Isn't For Us" Tour, nurses and health care practitioners from across Wisconsin last week spoke out against Republican U.S. Senate candidate Leah Vukmir's dangerous health care record and agenda. The tour included events in Wausau, Eau Claire, Milwaukee, Green Bay, and Madison.

Leah Vukmir's dangerous health care plans include:

  • gutting protections for Wisconsinites with pre-existing conditions;
  • letting insurance companies charge seniors more; and,
  • pursuing deep cuts to Medicare and Medicaid, which covers three in five Wisconsin nursing homes residents.

As a national leader of ALEC, a shadowy corporate special interest group, Vukmir has for years taken her cues from special interests, not Wisconsin families, working to limit health care coverage and make it harder to hold neglectful nursing homes accountable.
