AARP Wisconsin applauds Gov. Jim Doyle, Sens. Russ Feingold and Herb Kohl, Reps. Paul Ryan and Tammy Baldwin, and other members of the Wisconsin's Congressional delegation for working toward a bipartisan agreement that will result in expanded health care for childless adults in Wisconsin.
Gov. Doyle announced last week that his administration has reached an agreement in principle on the next important component of his BadgerCare Plus plan to expand health care in Wisconsin. Under the proposal, low-income uninsured Wisconsinites who do not have children under their care may now have access to primary and preventive care thanks to the five-year federal waiver proposal that builds upon Wisconsin's existing BadgerCare Plus program.
Wisconsin has a long and proud tradition of making sure all residents, young and old, are well cared for. We at AARP have been working with legislators from both parties the past several years to ensure access to quality affordable health care. AARP Wisconsin would like to thank Gov. Doyle and Wisconsin's Congressional delegation for their bipartisan work to encourage the federal government to support this new health care plan.
