MADISON, Wis. (AP) — A bill to guarantee that people with pre-existing health conditions can get insurance is moving quickly in the Wisconsin Assembly. The measure was the first bill introduced this session and the Assembly’s Health Committee held a public hearing on it Tuesday. The panel plans to vote on advancing the measure on Thursday. That sets it up for a vote in the full Assembly as soon as next week. But it faces a tougher road in the Senate. It’s not clear whether there’s enough Republican support to pass the measure there. A similar bill died in the Senate last session after it passed the Assembly. Democrats oppose the measure because they say it won’t provide the same level of protection as is under current federal law. Gov. Tony Evers says he will only sign a bill that offers the same or better protection as is available under the federal law.
