Gov. Scott Walker?s budget repair bill proposes sweeping changes to the state?s Medicaid programs, changes that could affect many of the 1.2 million state residents enrolled in public health programs like BadgerCare, Family Care, and SeniorCare.
The provisions would allow the administration to revamp and even gut the programs without following state laws or the normal legislative processes. But not many people seem to know or care, judging by the protests in the Capitol this week.
