(AP) -The Republican chairman of the Wisconsin Assembly Health Committee says Gov. Tony Evers is working with GOP leaders on a compromise for a bill guaranteeing health insurance coverage for people with pre-existing conditions.Assembly Republicans are moving quickly to pass a bill next week. The Health Committee met Thursday to vote on passing it. Chairman Rep. Joe Sanfelippo says the governor was meeting with Republican legislative leaders to talk about changes that both sides could support to win passage.
Sanfelippo says other proposed changes were going to be put on hold in hopes the governor could reach a deal with lawmakers. Evers has said he will only sign a bill that has the same or better protections that are currently in federal law.
