WAUSAU, Wis. – Today, County Executive David Crowley, Democratic nominee for governor, discussed his plan to expand healthcare for working families in Wausau. Crowley was joined by leaders in the Wausau area working to improve access to healthcare for families in the community.

“It was great to be at the Bridge Community Health Clinic as we highlight the need to expand BadgerCare, fully fund local clinics and hospitals, and bridge the rural healthcare gap,” said Democratic gubernatorial nominee David Crowley. “MAGA extremist Tom Tiffany won’t be any different than his record in Congress—he voted to defund healthcare and services for thousands of Wisconsinites. I won’t stand for that, and as governor, I’ll prioritize making healthcare more affordable for families, children, and seniors across the Badger State.”

During his time in public service, County Executive Crowley has been a champion for community health and access to health care, advancing the “No Wrong Door” model of care, investing in health services, and directing opioid settlement dollars toward community needs. He has also supported building new centers that make it easier for working families to access care and services, including the Marcia P. Coggs Health and Human Services Center and Mental Health Emergency Center in Milwaukee County.

As governor, County Executive Crowley’s healthcare plan includes expanding BadgerCare so more Wisconsin families can access affordable coverage, implementing a No Wrong Door model of care statewide, and investing in healthy kids, families, and communities by keeping care local and properly funded.
