In the summer of 2002, the McCallum administration held Health Care Listening Sessions designed to gather information from Wisconsin employers about their efforts to control their health care costs while maintaining health care coverage for their employees. The sessions also heard from health care industry officials on the health care environment as it existed in Wisconsin. On this page you will find written remarks submitted by those in attendance at each of the sessions as well as other information submitted directly to the Office of the Commissioner of Insurance and the Department of Health and Family Services regarding the listening sessions and the Governor's WEHL initiative.
