It's Time for Wisconsin to Expand Medicaid!

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 Medicaid!

Expanding Medicaid Helps Women:

• Healthier Moms & Babies
• Health Care for over 50,000 More Low Income Women in WI
• Health Care Coverage for More Working Parents
  
• Better Access to Care for Women with Chronic Conditions
• Fewer Disparities in Health Care Access and Quality
• Prevents financial hardships for low-income working women
• Increases access to transportation
• Saves roughly $160 million per year to invest in healthier communities

TAKE ACTION!
