Economic Downturn Means Increased Demands on Budget-Challenged State Health Coverage Initiatives

Date:12/10/2008

e Plus program for children and families is expecting to run $16 million over projected costs for 2009.

"While Wisconsin received good news with the approval of using federal funds to expand its BadgerCare Plus program, the state is facing a severe financial crisis that could stall efforts to roll out the program statewide," said Ric Gross, HealthLeaders-InterStudy analyst. "While state officials struggle to develop the best possible expansion timeline, they are also hopeful that the incoming Obama administration may provide some relief to states in need."
