Expand BadgerCare =
Expand Health Care Access

It's Time for Wisconsin to Expand BadgerCare!

We know that 63% of adult Medicaid enrollees are women and as coordinators of care for their families, women make 80% of the health care decisions for their loved ones.  To help make health care coverage more affordable and accessible in Wisconsin, we need to fully Expand BadgerCare!

By expanding Medicaid (BadgerCare) up to 138% of the Federal Poverty Level, Wisconsin would:
  • cover roughly 91,000 more adults and significantly reduce the amount of people who are uninsured
  • prevent financial hardships for low-income working adults and families
  • reduce health care costs for all Wisconsinites
  • save roughly $215 million per year in state tax dollars that we can invest in creating healthier communities
TAKE ACTION!
