Republican Representative Derrick Van Orden from Wisconsin has written an urgent letter to Democratic Governor Tony Evers, asking for help to protect rural hospitals from the effects of a Republican budget bill that he himself voted for.
According to MSNBC, the letter was sent on Wednesday, just before the bill’s passage on Thursday. Van Orden’s request adds to a growing list of Republicans who have acknowledged that their Trump-backed budget could harm vulnerable Americans, despite many party members claiming otherwise.
