Lame-Duck Republicans Stick It To The Poor In Wisconsin – HuffPost
In Wisconsin, only those adults with incomes at or below poverty, which is $12,140 for a single person and $25,100 for a family of four, qualify for Medicaid, although pregnant women with higher incomes are eligible. Under Walker, the state did not participate in the Affordable Care Act’s expansion of Medicaid to people who earn up to 133 percent of the poverty level. Evers supports the expansion and plans to attempt to enact it.
