Milwaukee, WI-- President Barack Obama will arrive in Wisconsin late Thursday morning.
The presidential motorcade will head to the United Community Center where the Commander in Chief will thank city leaders for signing up the most people for the affordable Care Act.
Milwaukee signed up more people for health insurance in the last open enrollment than 19 other cities.
Late last year, President Obama challenged 20 American cities to rally the uninsured around the Affordable Care Act.
White House officials say this trip is all business. There will be no fundraising and no campaigning.
In Milwaukee, 38,000 people, or 75% of all those eligible, selected a health care plan through the ACA for the first time. That's the highest percentage in the country.
Together with those who signed up before, that's 89,000 people in the city.
"I want to make sure people are not using emergency rooms as their first resort," said Milwaukee's Mayor, Tom Barrett.
Milwaukee's Mayor says he's ecstatic about the president's visit, but he knows that this isn't all a celebration. If Milwaukee had the highest percentage of its uninsured sign up for health care, that means there was just as high a number of people who never had health care to begin with.
Air Force one is due to land late Thursday morning. The president is expected to speak around 2 p.m.
