Wisconsin is President Barack Obama’s number one agenda item today. The President is flying into Green Bay to hold a town hall style meeting to learn about how this Great Lakes State has made cutting edge healthcare available to more people. The Washington Post writes today that “The federal Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality gives Wisconsin high scores on 100 measures, ranging from the treatment of heart disease to childhood asthma.” Healthcare is predicted to continue to be a huge generator of jobs over the next several decades and the availability of good healthcare makes cities very attractive to start-up companies and those looking to relocate their workers. Green Bay is showing the Nation another way that the Great Lakes region can once again become an economic leader.
