High-Quality, High-Value Health Care: A Wisconsin Advantage

Wisconsin's high-quality, high-value health care is an economic development asset. In a speech before hundreds of business leaders, Governor Walker recently credited the improvements in Wisconsin’s business climate to a number of factors and he recognized that Wisconsin’s health care value is a competitive advantage to the state’s employers.
