Saving Badger Care
BadgerCare was created in the 1990s as a way of ensuring working people access to affordable health insurance when their income disqualified them for Medicaid. It works to minimize the effects the growing gap between the “haves” (often those with access to good health insurance) and the “have nots” (those without health insurance). Go to change.org to sign the on-line petition asking the Dept. of Health Services to preserve BadgerCare and avoid making changes in this program. — Pastor Marianne

Send a message to Wisconsin leaders today – Protect & Save BadgerCare!
Wisconsin’s Medicaid deficit is now expected to be $322 million less than was anticipated a few months ago, and the state has just received a $24 million federal bonus for BadgerCare’s success. Those developments enable the state to protect BadgerCare, while also lifting the cap on the Family Care program.
Please join us in fighting to preserve BadgerCare and to oppose changes that would adversely affect children, people with disabilities, and adults, and would result in thousands of families becoming uninsured.
Add your name to our new Save BadgerCare Coalition petition being sent to Governor Walker, DHS Secretary Smith and Joint Finance Committee Co-Chairs – Senator Darling and Representative Vos.
