Andrea Palm, Governor Ever’s pick to lead the Department of Health Services, is crisscrossing the state this spring in support of the health proposals in the governor’s first budget. Chief among those priorities is expanding Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act, a concept that has so far faced stiff opposition from top Republicans who control the Legislature.

A former health advisor for President Barack Obama, Palm will outline the department’s priorities and discuss how her D.C. experience is shaping her new role in the Badger State at a Wisconsin Health News event in Madison at the Madison Club (5 East Wilson Street) on Monday, April 15.  The program and lunch opens at 11:45, with discussion starting at 12:15pm).
