Republican lawmakers are explaining their objections to expanding BadgerCare.
In a letter to Governor Tony Evers, they said broadening eligibility for the program would be too expensive. Republicans also argue there’s no coverage gap in Wisconsin because the federal exchanges allow people between 100% and 400% of the poverty level to get subsidized health coverage.
Republicans Tuesday quickly gaveled in and out of a special session on BadgerCare expansion called by Evers.
