Hintz says Medicaid expansion compromise in Wisconsin is possible, Vos says 'never'
Assembly Speaker Robin Vos, R-Rochester, was adamant on Tuesday that the federal Medicaid expansion will not be a compromise issue, even if Assembly Republicans find themselves working with mixed government after the Nov. 6 election.
Vos said several times on Tuesday, both during and after a WisPolitics luncheon, that he believes and hopes Gov. Scott Walker will win his re-election fight and that he expects Republicans to maintain a majority in the Assembly, even if they lose some seats. However, he said, he will work with "whoever the governor is."
Still, Vos said, if Democrat Tony Evers is elected, he will work to ensure Republicans do not "repeal a single thing, not one, that we have done in the past eight years."
"Not gonna happen. No. Never," Vos said when asked whether the Assembly might revisit Walker's decision not to accept the federal Medicaid funds if Evers becomes governor.
