Wisconsinites are set to feel the impact of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, as insurance costs are rising, rural clinics are closing, and patients are losing access. In a panel hosted by the Defend America Action advocacy group, community organization representatives explained today how these federal laws have begun to dismantle Wisconsin’s healthcare system. WORT Reporter Whittaker Peters has the story.
