Wisconsin will keep saying no to federal Obama-care money to cover Medicaid patients. The next two-year state budget, as proposed by Republican Governor Scott Walker, continues to reject millions in federal Medicaid funds to help the state cover low-income patients under programs like Badger-Care Plus. Walker has said it would cost the state a fortune if federal money runs out someday for Obama-care -- and states like Wisconsin are left holding the bag. Instead, the governor cut off Badger-Care for childless adults over the poverty line -- while granting the assistance to some of the lowest-income mothers and children for the first time.
