72 million tax dollars go to hospitals to side step the badger care money in back room deal....

72 million tax dollars to the Hospital is to help mitigate the cost for not getting badger care.. This is increasing the cost of health care for a fewer amount of people... In promotion of an Ideological stand against Obama Care as the signature talking point for Walker's Presidential bid...

The Worst State Budget Money Can Buy

"This week the panel sifts through all the backroom deals and outrages in the state budget approved late at night by Joint Finance Committee. The low lights include the outrageous vote to rejection billions of federal dollars for BadgerCare, state-wide expansion of the failed voucher school experiment, a huge tax giveaway to the wealthy, the legalization of bail bondsmen to prey on the poor, and eleventh hour sneak attacks on independent investigative journalism and student democracy."

Obviously these legislators have never had to pay for care received in an emergency room. The costs are extremely high and 72 million sounds like a lot but in reality it will not go very far. It's a stupid, stupid band aide for a huge problem.
