From Wisconsin conservative James Wigderson:
The top official of the top abortion provider in the state of Wisconsin will continue to advise Governor-elect Tony Evers on “health care” despite a demands for her removal from a health care committee.
On Tuesday last week, Evers appointed Tanya Atkinson, President and CEO of Planned Parenthood in Wisconsin, to his Health Care Advisory Council. The committee, according to parries release from Evers, “will help our transition team put together a comprehensive health care plan that takes steps to increase access to health care coverage, like taking the Medicaid expansion dollars, while bringing down costs.”
The twelve members of the council will advise on policy matters affecting the Department of Health Services, the Office of the Commissioner of Insurance, the Department of Employee Trust Funds, and “numerous state boards focused on health care,” according to the Evers press release announcing the appointment of Atkinson and the other members.
The appointment of Atkinson was strongly criticized in a statement by Sen. Dave Craig (R-Big Bend) on Thursday.
