Scott Fitzgerald on Health Care

 

 


Allow discrimination by providers in direct care agreements

AB26 Relating to: direct primary care agreements.

Summary by Wisconsin Examiner: AB 26 facilitates allowing a patient (or their representative) to have a contract for primary-care services by that provider and have it be exempt from insurance law. The amendment, which was adopted along strict party lines, eliminated the prohibition of discrimination on the basis of citizenship status, gender or gender identity, genetic information, national origin and sexual orientation.

Veto Message: I object to allowing a health care provider to choose not to enter into a direct primary care agreement with a patient based on the patient's genetics, national origin, gender identity, citizenship status, or whether the patient is LGBTQ. I believe that all individuals should be treated equally.

Legislative Outcome: Passed Assembly 61-36-2 on Jan/21/20; Passed Senate 20-13-0 on Feb/20/20; Sen. Scott Fitzgerald voted YES; Vetoed by Gov. Evers on Feb/8/20.
