CVI launched its Healthcare Protest Tour with stops in Wausau, La Crosse, and Eau Claire — complete with a 15-foot puppet of Rep. Tom Tiffany that’s impossible to ignore. The tour is shining a spotlight on the votes that gutted rural healthcare funding and left communities like ours vulnerable.

At each stop, community members shared personal stories about what healthcare cuts mean for real families. The puppet — towering over the crowd — served as a visceral reminder of who voted to take healthcare away from working Wisconsinites.

The tour is just getting started. More cities, more stories, more pressure. Because healthcare isn’t a partisan issue — it’s a survival issue.
