Wisconsin Considers Cuts to State Health Programs to Close $500 Million Shortfall
The Milwaukee-Wisconsin Journal Sentinel is reporting on the state’s efforts to lower its Medicaid program costs. In Wisconsin, the Department of Health Services has proposed dozens of changes in the BadgerCare Plus and Medicaid programs to close a $500 million gap in the budget. The key budget-writing committee of the legislature is expected to hold a hearing on many of the proposed changes this week. Since December 2007, enrollment in BadgerCare Plus and Medicaid has increased by roughly 300,000 people.
