Happy Veterans Day! Today, our friend Teri Barr joins us to share an overlooked story about the roots of the holiday in Wisconsin’s history. In Teri’s latest article, she dives into the life of Harvey Higley, a UW-Madison grad and WWI veteran who dedicated his life to taking care of other veterans. Higley was instrumental in establishing several national VA programs, including the GI bill, as well as changing Armistice Day to Veterans Day. 

At the bottom of the hour, Lt. Gov. Sara Rodriguez joins us in-studio to talk about how the discontinuation of Affordable Care Act subsidies will affect Wisconsinites. When it comes down to it, if the funding ends, healthcare prices will rise for everybody, even those who do not have an ACA plan. She also updates us on her gubernatorial campaign.
