The Walker Medicaid shell game

http://www.bluecheddar.net/?p=36700

Argh. Look at how National Journal frames this news story in both title and image. Isn’t that sort of a Papal hand motion, there? Was he offering his blessing?

In reality, Walker’s legislative disciples in the Assembly are keeping 83,000 of our poorest from healthcare for an extra 3 months. The bill next goes to the WI Senate.

What a joke. Those 83K people who must wait ’til April have an income of 100% of poverty level or less ($11,490 or less), so how do they come up with a couple hundred dollars a month for an insurance premium? Keep in mind, people at 100% or below F.P.L. [federal poverty level] do not get a tax credit to cover this.

...

I like Senator Cullen’s response to Walker which is “I find no humane rationale for this decision.”

on all the news breaks on each radio station including wpr. What a great guy this Walker is by refusing to let democrats kick 83000 people off Badgercare. Makes me want to pull my hair out.
