1-18-19 vos says its too soon to comment on evers offer

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Assembly Speaker Robin Vos says it’s “too early to tell” whether Republicans will accept changes sought by Democratic Gov. Tony Evers to a bill guaranteeing health insurance coverage for people with pre-existing conditions.  Evers met Thursday with Vos and Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald to discuss the measure. Vos responded to a shouted question as he walked into Fitzgerald’s office later Thursday.  The Assembly Health Committee earlier Thursday advanced the measure, making it ready for a vote before the full Assembly on Tuesday, its first day in session.  Evers says he won’t sign the bill unless several changes are made.  Evers tweeted that he wants the proposal to prevent insurance plans from setting annual and lifetime limits for health care protections. He also wants it to cover services for mothers and newborns and prescription drug costs.
