The MeidasTouch Podcast · Lt. Gov. Sara Rodriguez on Wisconsin Governor’s Race · 17 Feb 2026 podcast

Yeah, you know, I'm a nurse by background.

I have spent my entire career in healthcare.

I ran for office because I was so disappointed in the COVID response here in Wisconsin.

And as Lieutenant Governor, I've gone to all 72 counties every year I've been Lieutenant Governor.

And you're right, people are really scared right now about what's happening within healthcare.

I've talked to small business owners who are basically not going to be

re-upping their insurance on the exchange because they simply can't afford the premiums without the tax credit subsidies.

And so they're just holding on and crossing their fingers and hoping that they're gonna be okay for a year or two and hope the next Congress comes in and fixes this.

These things that Trump and the Republican like Tom Tiffany here in Wisconsin that they've broken.

And these costs are just going up exponentially for people.

we've we've saved your health care and you know as you're telling me the people aren't buying them no they're not they're not because they can see what their bills are they can see they've got eyes they've got ears they're able to do math they know that their health care bills are increasing they know that their premiums have gone up exponentially i mean i was an emergency room nurse prior to the affordable care act passing and i still remember

This man coming in, single dad, was newly diagnosed with congestive heart failure.

He should have been in the hospital and he left.

He signed out against medical advice, AMA, because he said he couldn't afford to miss work.

And there was no way that he could afford a hospital stay because he didn't have the insurance to be able to pay for it.

And that's where the Republicans like Trump, Tom Tiffany here in Wisconsin, they just want to drag us back to that era

where people weren't able to afford their medications, were not able to afford a hospital stay, and really things that could have been solved earlier with a primary care visit with your doctor now become emergencies because they're not able to access the care that they need.

Yeah, I mean, I could not believe it when they came out that said nurses were not a profession.

I mean, come on, right?

We are able to take care of so many different people across the health care system.
