OCONOMOWOC, WI – Congressman Scott Fitzgerald (WI-05) issued the following statement calling out Governor Tony Evers for misleading Wisconsinites about the One Big Beautiful Bill Act.

1. Medicaid Coverage and Costs:
“Governor Evers claims the One Big Beautiful Bill creates barriers to Medicaid and increases costs. Governor Evers is wrong, as usual.

CBO estimates that work requirements for able-bodied adults will save taxpayers nearly $326 billion over the 2025-2034 period. We also secured a historic $50 billion investment for America’s rural hospitals through the Rural Health Transformation Program. The One Big Beautiful Bill ensures taxpayer dollars support those who truly need care, not illegal aliens or able-bodied adults refusing to work.
