KeldaCare

As a mom and small business owner, Kelda understands how challenging it can be to pay for health care.

KeldaCare will enable every Wisconsinite to buy into the very same health insurance plan that Kelda enjoys as a state senator, and give people the freedom to build a better life.

Kelda's plan opens up the high quality, competitively priced, nonprofit state employee health insurance plan to allow any person or entity to buy in, at cost. Small businesses, unions, municipalities, and even large companies will benefit by being able to join the state employee pool, enjoying excellent, lower cost insurance than the expensive, private, for-profit health insurance options currently available.

With KeldaCare, small and medium sized businesses that make our communities vibrant will be able to start, grow, and compete. Plus, by covering more people and expanding the pool, we will be able to reduce uncompensated care, lower premium costs for everyone including taxpayers, and keep rural clinics and hospitals open.

For over 20 years, Kelda has fought for and passed laws to expand affordable healthcare for Wisconsinites. She's the only candidate in this race who's actually delivered on expanding access to affordable healthcare.
