August 3, 2023, WQOW

Efforts to cut funding for Medicaid and Medicare are happening across the country, but there's also an effort to keep funding afloat in the Chippewa Valley.

Thursday members of Opportunity Wisconsin, For Our Future WI, and Citizen Action Wisconsin gathered in Eau Claire's Phoenix Park to talk about the importance of supporting and strengthening both health care programs. They also celebrated the anniversary of Medicare and Medicaid becoming law 58 years ago this week.
