WISCONSIN PUBLIC RADIO: With election on the horizon, Wisconsin’s caregivers seek better health care options
With the election a few short months away, caregivers of all types are seeking better health care options. According to one report, home health care and child day care are both in the top 10 industries with the largest number of working Medicaid enrollees. Medicaid expansion and health care affordability is an issue on many people’s minds. Wisconsin is one of 10 states that haven’t accepted federal money to expand Medicaid. If it did, many could get Badgercare. Some say that would allow caregivers to work more without worrying about losing their health insurance.
