The co-chairwoman of a state Senate panel on health care reform says the insurance system that serves 230,000 state and local government employees, retirees and their beneficiaries is blazing a path toward more efficient and less costly health care.
“Wisconsin has a shining example” to offer, said Sen. Alberta Darling, R-River Hills. “The state changed to a three-tier insurance system and developed a prescription initiative that is very strong. This is the best in the country, and other states are looking at it.”
