Home 9 Health Care 9 Check out our analysis of the proposed Medicaid and BadgerCare cuts ( Page 12 )

Sara Eskrich and I have been busy analyzing and summarizing the long list of proposals recently unveiled by the Department of Health Services (DHS) to cut $554 million from Medicaid and BadgerCare. We have completed a preliminary analysis, which you can find on the WCCF website. It outlines the changes relating to eligibility, benefits, payment reform, and service delivery, and includes some preliminary thoughts about the consequences of these changes.  Check it out!

Unfortunately, there are scores of unanswered questions about details of the DHS proposals. We will update our 6-page analysis as DHS answers some of those questions and as people like you send us your perspectives on the proposals. Check our website for revisions.

We worked with the Save BadgerCare Coalition (SBC) to help produce a condensed, one-page document that summarizes the BadgerCare portions of the DHS proposals, including potential effects of those changes, and we’ll put a link to that on our website soon. In the meantime, you can find that summary attached to a Save BadgerCare press release issued yesterday.
