The latest push to expand Medicaid in Wisconsin is coming with an offer to Republican lawmakers.
Governor Evers yesterday called a special session for next week to try and expand BadgerCare. To try and entice Republican support, the governor offered a list of spending projects that include several Republican favorites. The governor is offering to send more money to the state’s rainy day fund, and help find money to buy old paper mills in Wisconsin Rapids and Park Falls. Republican leaders at the Capitol late yesterday turned the governor down.
