Badger Care already covers people earning up to 100% of the federal poverty level. Eligible individuals can apply for heavily subsidized coverage on the federal insurance exchange once they've already reached that level. In 2018, the Wisconsin Health Insurance Stability Plan became law with bipartisan support that ensured lower premiums for those who are on that federal exchange. The bottom line is that everyone who wants insurance in our state already has access and options. Medicaid expansion would add over 90,000 childless working age able bodied adults onto state government assistance even though they are already eligible for federal subsidies. (00:24–00:33)
