Sen. Kelda Roys

State government plays an important role in regulating and protecting people from the harms of Artificial Intelligence.

I have introduced many bills to regulate Big Tech, and to address the potential harms of AI that are going unchecked by the Trump regime on the federal level. One of these bills would prevent AI from automatically denying prior authorization claims.

When healthcare is already inaccessible and insurance is unaffordable, we can't have AI overruling a doctor's judgment. We need protections in place to prevent insurance companies from dangerous, abusive practices to ensure patients are treated.

Wishing everyone a happy and safe 4th of July!

We are celebrating our country's 250th anniversary at a moment of great challenge and division. It’s up to all of us to preserve our freedom and our democracy for the next 250 years. Patriotism isn’t blind allegiance — it’s working every day to uphold our fundamental values and make our country better for the next generation.

July 1 marked the beginning of postpartum Medicaid coverage being extended for new moms! This a huge victory that I and my Democratic colleagues worked to pass for many years, even as Republican politicians blocked it every time.

The Wisconsin Department of Health Services predicts about 16,000 mothers will now get to keep health care coverage for a year, helping to reduce our shamefully high infant and maternal mortality rates, which disproportionately affect moms and babies of color.

Health care should be a right for everyone. But this is an important step forward and I’m so glad that these new moms will be able to access the care they need.
