Health insurance affordability woes force tough choices in WI

Imagine being too unhealthy to work but still being forced to out of necessity. It is the dilemma facing a western Wisconsin family, who said high out-of-pocket costs and changes to federal programs put more pressure on their budget. Sarah Burns, owner of Omega Bakery in Holmen, said it is now too difficult to find affordable coverage from Affordable Care Act marketplace plans . Her husband Rick, who has bipolar disorder and a history of suicide attempts, returned to work full-time, largely because the family needed health insurance after recently losing their BadgerCare coverage. “I don’t think Rick would’ve taken a job if we didn’t have to worry about health insurance. His mental health would be significantly better than where it is right now,” Burns explained. She worries the demands of full-time work could undermine her husband’s recovery after a previous mental health crisis forced him to leave his job. Their tough choices coincide with pending Medicaid work requirements under a major federal policy law adopted by Republicans. Major spending cuts are forecast in the coming years. Supporters said the changes reduce unnecessary spending and strengthen program accountability but healthcare advocates warn higher costs will leave more people uninsured. Data

Crowley proposes public health insurance option, but lacks details

Democratic candidate for governor David Crowley is proposing to implement a public health insurance option if elected governor − an idea that could require hundreds of millions of dollars per year in new state spending, according to rough estimates provided by his campaign. At a late September campaign event in Milwaukee, Crowley touted an ambitious plan to expand subsidized health coverage to more Wisconsin residents, but did not provide specifics on how much the program would cost or how it would work. For months, Crowley has described the plan as a way for anyone to join BadgerCare Plus, the state's version of Medicaid that provides health coverage to low-income residents. "I don't think that we need to reinvent the wheel," Crowley said at a Wisconsin Health News event in April . "It's about strengthening and expanding people's ability to actually pay into BadgerCare as a public health option." In response to follow-up questions, however, Crowley's campaign described a proposal that would allow anyone to buy a state-sponsored and subsidized plan on the health insurance exchange set up by the Affordable Care Act. The state would transition from the federally operated exchange, also called the marketplace, and set up its own
