Scott Walker has actively opposed the ACA along with his sycophants in the WIGOP. He turned down all kinds of federal money as well.

Report: Scott Walker decisions drove insurance rates much higher in Wisconsin than in Minnesota

Robert Kraig, the executive director of Citizen Action of Wisconsin, said a report he co-authored shows that “rates are much higher in Wisconsin than in Minnesota, despite having similar geographies and similar underlying medical costs.”

Kraig said Wisconsin insurance exchange premiums for a single person are an average of 79 percent to 99 percent higher than premiums in Minnesota, before tax credits are applied. He said the average Wisconsinite will pay $1,800 more annually for health care.

The cost differential has hit some areas harder than others: In La Crosse, the average cost is 136 percent higher than Minnesota’s average, in Eau Claire it’s 116 percent higher, and in Milwaukee it’s 112 percent higher.
