STATEWIDE - Today Citizen Action of Wisconsin, which brings together health professionals and patients from across the state, called on U.S. Senate candidates Sen. Tammy Baldwin and State Sen. Leah Vukmir to sign a pledge not to repeal or weaken the provisions of the Affordable Care Act outlawing discrimination against people with health conditions. The full pledge which is being transmitted to both campaigns today, can be read here. In the 2016 election many candidates for federal office promised voters they would protect people with pre-existing conditions, but once elected supported legislation which would have repealed or dramatically weakened the anti-discrimination provisions of the ACA.
