Save BadgerCare! Protect Eligibility, Benefits & Affordability!

Join the voices of working families, older adults, people with disabilities and everyone who cares about the health of Wisconsin communities and our economy by joining this petition to opposethreats toWisconsin’s Medicaid programs.

After the "budget repair bill" was passed at least 63,000 Wisconsinitesare at risk oflosing the basic health insurance they currently have. Folks who rely on SeniorCare, FamilyCare, children’s waivers and other vital Medicaid programs could lose health benefits as critical decisions about cost-sharing, benefits and eligibility have been moved behind closed doors. The Department of Health Services (DHS)is now allowed to supersede existing state laws that ensure families have access to basic health care in Wisconsin and that support older adults and persons with disabilities. More importantly,the new lawseverely limits the ability for the public to have input in the changes to rules on these critical Medicaid programs withone person having the power to eliminate health care services and limit the ability for thousands of individuals to access BadgerCare with limited the legislative oversight.

I was just staring at the counter and it is so wild how we are almost at five hundred people watching these changes (or lack thereof) to BadgerCare. If you could just grab the link and toss it into a group chat or maybe send a quick message to a friend it would really help us pick up the pace before the next meeting.

BadgerCare saved me when I lost my job. It really is a lifesaver for people having a rough go at it.

So tired of them making deals in the back room while we suffer. Keep your hands off our healthcare.
