Wisconsin: Tell Scott Walker to Strengthen BadgerCare!

http://action.wisconsinjobsnow.org/page/s/hey-gov-walker-let-s-improve-badgercare?source=hem1



Governor Walker could decide TODAY whether to accept $12 billion in additional federal revenue to expand and strengthen BadgerCare. By accepting the money, it's estimated that an additional 211,000 uninsured Wisconsin residents will receive access to healthcare.

Covering more adults will save Wisconsin money by reducing emergency room visits and uncompensated care costs incurred by hospitals. By expanding BadgerCare, Wisconsin will save an estimated $248 million over ten years!

Governor Walker can eliminate the current waiting list for BadgerCare, save Wisconsin millions of dollars, and reduce the healthcare costs to businesses by taking the money, but he's still considering turning it down. Sign the petition today and tell him to accept the money and improve BadgerCare!
