Other Republican leaders, including Senate Majority Leader Devin LeMahieu and Assembly Speaker Robin Vos, said
“Our unique-to-Wisconsin solution is working, and we will not shift tens of thousands of people off their private insurance to a government-run system.” They go on to say, ’'Everyone who wants insurance in our state has access and options.”
However, physicians from around the state beg to differ. Dr. Ann Helms, a neurologist in Brookfield, treats patients with strokes. “So I see patients when they have no choice but to go to the hospital. The number of patients I have saying, ‘You have to discharge me, I can’t afford this. I’m going to go bankrupt,” said Dr. Helms. “They end up with catastrophic medical bills and are never able to work again. So they end up on permanent disability. Whereas, if we had been able to cover $5 of antihypertensive and a visit to the doctor twice a year, they’d be able to still be working.”
Right now, BadgerCare is only available to people who earn up to 100 percent of the federal poverty level. According to Healthcare.gov, the federal poverty level for an individual is $12,880.
The company Wisconsin keeps.
