The issues

Dave Hegenbarth strongly opposes the state of Wisconsin creating a single-payer health care system such as "Healthy Wisconsin"

One of the worst ideas that's ever come out of the Wisconsin Senate. Would be a $16 billion increase and make Wisconsin the highest-taxed state in the union.

Dave Hegenbarth supports legislation to make all public buildings, public transportation, and all workplaces (including bars) in the state smoke free

As a non-smoker, believes the state needs to protect non-smokers from second-hand. Also believes the state might work out a special licensing program for bars that want to continue to allow smoking.

Dave Hegenbarth strongly supports the state of Wisconsin creating a tax exemption for Health Savings Accounts

Believes the state exemption for HSAs is the right thing to do.
