Rising healthcare costs are one of the key drivers of Wisconsin’s affordability crisis and pose a real threat to Wisconsin families, businesses, and the state’s overall economic competitiveness. According to the latest Wisconsin Employer Survey, 93 percent of businesses who offer employer-sponsored plans experienced an increase in healthcare costs in 2026. In fact, Wisconsin is the second costliest state in the nation for healthcare. Additionally, Wisconsin has the nation’s highest medical payments under workers’ compensation and the fourth-highest hospital costs. These costs don't just disappear, according to WMC's @ravervelde. They show up in payroll decisions, wages, and job growth. Read the latest report: media.wmc.org/wp-content/upl…

“It’s no wonder employers say Wisconsin is headed the wrong way: we’re already among the highest-taxed states in the nation, with top-10 individual and property tax burdens and a top-12 corporate tax burden,” said @Kurt_R_Bauer. “Property taxes are a punishing fixed cost, owed whether a business is just starting out, expanding, or struggling. With Governor Evers’ 400-year autopilot increase, Wisconsin is on track to climb even higher.”

Transparency drives down costs and protects patients. It's unacceptable that Wisconsin has the 4th highest hospital costs in the nation. Patients deserve clear, accessible information to make informed, market-based decisions about their care.

🛑THE GRACE PERIOD HAS ENDED🛑 Hospitals: post your real prices and comply with federal law. Patients deserve transparency. Hospitals that continue hiding prices will face consequences.

With a hefty tax burden on middle-class families and businesses, a declining population, an unworkable regulatory environment, poor educational outcomes, and unaffordable health care, Wisconsin is falling behind. But many of these economic challenges have solutions, as shared by @Kurt_R_Bauer on @WBAY this week.

In the first episode of a new video series, @Kurt_R_Bauer and @WadeGoodsell bring WMC Foundation's Wisconsin Competitiveness Report to life. Will we be a state that rolls out the red carpet for business, or will we continue to create red tape?

Did you know Wisconsin is the second costliest state in the nation for healthcare?
