Governor tony evers here. I know i dont have to tell you this year has been one of many major challenges. A Global Pandemic coupled with Economic Uncertainty and another election season has shaken our patients, empathy, and compassion for one another. Our optimism has been battered, ourresilience strained and character, tested but as we put the election behind us, we are called upon to remember the things that unite us and that includes the struggles we share. We must return our attention to the pandemic. We must fight the virus together and we must start tonight. This year, earlier we took steps to contain covid19 by issuing a safer at home order. We estimated then our efforts would save between 300 and 1400 lives. By ther was struck down wisconsin supreme court, a decision that hamstrung our abilit
Act on the same day the Supreme Court heard a challenge to the law. Mr. Biden took questions on the transition and mr. Trumps refusal to concede. His is 25 minutes. Good afternoon. Today the Supreme Court heard arguments in the case that could strike down the Affordable Care act in its entirety. If the Supreme Court agrees with the opponents of the act, their decisions could take healthcare away from 20 million americans. It could take away protections for more than 100 Million People with preexisting conditions in our country and hurt the millions of american who is have come to rely on the Affordable Care act. Getting rid of the Affordable Care act will take us backwards to a time when people could charge a woman more for her healthcare than they could charge a man simply because she is a woman. To a time when pregnancy could be considered a preexisting condition. It will take away free Birth Control and contraceptive coverage for women. This is all happening at a moment when our cou

The way things are going, it will take us only 20 days to reach another 100,000. We have now surpassed in deaths the number of lives we projecte
Mr. Biden took questions on the transition and President Trumps refusal to concede. This is 25 minutes. With preexisting conditions in our country and hurt the millions of americans who have come to rely on the Affordable Care act, getting rid getting rid of the Affordable Care act will take us backwards. To a time when people could charge a woman more for her health care than they could charge a man simply because she is a woman. To a time when pregnancy could be considered a preexisting condition. It will take away free Birth Control and contraceptive coverage for women. This is all happening at a moment when our country is suffering through a pandemic that has claimed more than 238,000 lives.
