JFC Approves Medicaid Plan Costing $490 Million More through FY 2020. (Wisconsin Budget Project, 6/4/2013)
Excerpt:With the added funding for hospitals (which is just for the 2013-15 biennium), the Governor’s plan is now expected to cost state taxpayers about $490 million GPR more during the period 2014 through fiscal year 2020, compared to the compromise offered by Democrats on the committee

Today’s addition of $30 million to the [budget] bill is an acknowledgment that the strategy of trying to move low-income adults from BadgerCare into the higher cost coverage in the new health insurance exchange will result in
- more uninsured Wisconsinites,
- less emphasis on preventative care, and
- higher costs for hospitals.
Republicans happily use the tools provided for them by the American Legislative Exchange Council.
