Proposal would allow Wisconsin Farm Bureau to offer health coverage

A proposal at the State Capitol would allow Wisconsin Farm Bureau to offer health care coverage to its members.

Jason Mugnaini tells Brownfield if signed into law, Legislative Reference Bureau bill 4676 (LRB-4676) could potentially save farmers a lot of money on health care. “Farm Bureau is different. We’re not an insurance company that’s beholden to our stakeholders that are aligned with generating profit. We’re an agricultural advocacy organization trying to provide an affordable product to our members so that they can continue farming.”

Mugnaini says the concept of Farm Bureau offering health care coverage is not new.
