Wisconsin Health Plan Study Raises Questions...

There are many questions about the Lewin Study and the Wisconsin Health Plan.

So far, we have heard, through the press, that the Study affirms this is a great idea, will save money for everyone and answers the health care needs of all but 17,000 people in Wisconsin.

All this begs details to support these conclusions that appear to have been drawn by the WHP creators. Rep. Jon Richards (D-Milwaukee) is trying to “fast track” his WHP but is trying to do so without sharing all the facts.

What we haven’t seen or heard is what questions were asked of the Lewin Group? Were those questions agreed to by all member organizations referenced in the press releases? Have there been changes made to the original Plan? Have there been critical questions asked but not answered? If so, what were those questions? Posed by whom? Etc., etc. etc.

Stay tuned. We’ll continue to dig for answers.
