WI State Senator Tammy Baldwin hosts wellness roundtable

Wisconsin State Senator Tammy Baldwin visited Outreach Community Health Centers (OCHC) on Wednesday, September 24, 2025, to highlight her continued commitment to affordable, accessible health care for all. The roundtable was an opportunity for Sen. Baldwin to hear the vital impact of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) directly from community leaders, and shared her vision for building on its foundation.

In January 2025, Baldwin introduced the Health Care Affordability Act, landmark legislation designed to lower costs for families, expand subsidies, and strengthen protections for those who rely on the ACA marketplace. The bill seeks to cap premiums, reduce prescription drug costs, and make coverage more stable for working families.

“This is about ensuring that no one has to choose between paying the bills and accessing the care they need,” Baldwin said. “Health care is a right, not a privilege.”
The visit underscored the continued importance of partnerships between policymakers and community-based health providers. With Baldwin’s advocacy, Milwaukee families stand to benefit from stronger protections and more affordable care options in the years ahead.
