Governor Doyle officially begins his second term in office Wednesday following his inauguration in the Capitol rotunda.
Doyle used his inaugural address to talk about the rising price of health care, calling it one of the great challenges of our time.
He called on Wisconsin to be a leader nationally in health care reform.
Health care reform has moved to the top of many politicians' agendas given that the ranks of the uninsured are rising, fewer employers are offering the benefit and premium costs are going up.
Doyle says that too many people can't afford health care and too many families live in fear of losing everything due to an illness.
He called on Republicans and Democrats to come together to address health care reform.
