Quick details: This is about limited government, safer communities, stronger families, and smarter spending. Healthcare decisions belong between a person and their doctor — not in the hands of probation or parole agents. Here’s why: -Keep Government in Its Proper Role Healthcare decisions should be made by individuals and their licensed medical providers — not government agents. Allowing probation and parole officers to override doctors is government overreach and undermines personal freedom. -Invest in Public Safety Through Treatment When people receive appropriate medical and mental health care, they are more likely to stay sober, stable, and law-abiding. Denying care increases the risk of relapse, crisis, and recidivism — which makes our communities less safe. - Support Families and Communities Strong families are the foundation of strong communities. People who can access treatment are better able to work, parent, and contribute to their households. Denying them care tears families apart and passes costs onto the community. - Use Taxpayer Dollars Wisely Wisconsin spends over $514 million a year incarcerating people for violations of probation, parole and extended supervision. Many of these violations are connected to untreated health needs. Providing access to care costs less than re-incarceration and is a smarter investment of taxpayer dollars. - Uphold Individual Responsibility and Freedom People should be held accountable for their choices — but accountability also means having the opportunity to succeed. Government should not stand in the way of someone responsibly following a doctor’s orders to manage their health. https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/do-no-harm
