Amid GOP opposition, Tony Evers says he'll 'fight like hell' to expand Medicaid

Wisconsin State Journal - MARK SOMMERHAUSER msommerhauser@madison.com

Evers said Medicaid expansion is broadly popular, including among many Republicans, and would infuse more than $1.6 billion into the state's healthcare system.

Still, Evers declined to say if he will sign a state budget that excludes Medicaid expansion. GOP leaders of the Legislature's budget-writing committee announced late Wednesday that their first budget move next week will be to strip the proposal and more than 100 others from Evers' budget.

In the meantime -

"The Politics of Resentment" = Scott Walker's political rise == rural resentment against the "liberal elite"
