Noted: For instance, when the Governor took office in 2011 there were only 631 cases of UW System employees enrolled in BadgerCare Plus, the state’s Medicaid insurance program for the poor. By April 2015, the number of cases had jumped up 1,667.
That increase has vaulted the UW System from 46th to 3rd on the list of state employers with the most workers enrolled in BadgerCare Plus. Only Walmart and McDonald’s have more employees receiving those government benefits in Wisconsin.
