New moms need and their kids need all the support we can give them.
But Wisconsin is one of only two states that have refused to adopt an expansion of post-partum care for new moms under the Medicaid program.
Republican Assembly Speaker Robin Vos is adamantly opposed to this expansion and has used his power to block it.
But he’s only one person.
It’s also Republican state legislators who are refusing to stand up to Vos that are letting him get away with stopping new moms from getting the care they need.
Republicans have had opportunities to vote for expanding care. And every time, Republican legislators have voted with their party boss instead of supporting Wisconsin moms.
Call or email your representative and tell them to vote for the postpartum Medicaid extension — now.
They work for you. Not party leaders.
