Eau Claire leaders celebrate 58th anniversary of Medicare, Medicaid

August 3, 2023 WEAU

At a news conference in Phoenix Park, local leaders joined Opportunity Wisconsin, For our Future Wisconsin, and Citizen Action Wisconsin to promote supporting Medicare and Medicaid into the future.

“We think it’s important that our elected officials know that we are watching, that we really depend on these programs and that we would like to see them continue to be strengthened as opposed to cut back and undercut at every opportunity to save a few pennies,” Reba Krueger with Opportunity Wisconsin said.

People were also celebrating the one year anniversary of the Inflation Reduction Act, which helped strengthen the reach of Medicare.
