1. Impacto Devastador de los Recortes de Medicaid en Wisconsin.
El proyecto de ley federal impulsado por los republicanos, conocido como "big ugly bill" o "big beautiful bill", contempla recortes masivos a Medicaid, lo que resultaría en la pérdida de cobertura sanitaria para cientos de miles de habitantes de Wisconsin y el cierre de hospitales rurales. Los grupos más vulnerables, incluyendo niños, ancianos y personas con discapacidades, se verán gravemente afectados.
- Over 276,00 wisconsinites are expected to lose healthcare coverage, and even more will face higher costs.
- Medicaid is the largest healthcare provider for people with disabilities, republican cuts to this vital program will be devastating for thousands.
- More than 30,00 people in rural wisconsin could lose medicaid coverage, and state rural hospitals could lose 600 million.
- Medicaid covers - nearly 50 of rural births - nearly 23 of nursing home residents including veterans!
2. La Hipocresía del Congresista Derrick Van Orden.
El congresista Derrick Van Orden (WI-03) fue un voto decisivo a favor de los recortes. A pesar de celebrar inicialmente que millones perderían la cobertura, posteriormente intentó atribuirse el mérito de la financiación adicional de Medicaid asegurada por el gobernador demócrata Tony Evers y la legislatura estatal, un acto que sus críticos califican de mentira y duplicidad.
- Instead of funding the healthcare our families need, wi republicans like derrick van orden voted to pass a federal budget bill that guts medicaidjeopardizing healthcare coverage for 250,00 wisconsinites in order to cut taxes for the wealthy few.
- Yes! republican celebrates americans losing health care in deleted post rep. Derrick van orden cheered on trumps big beautiful bill that will kick millions off medicaid.
- Rep. Van orden r-wi voted for the medicaid cuts. Since the big ugly bills passage, he sent a letter to wisconsin democratic governor tony evers begging him to spare wisconsins rural hospitals from the cuts that he voted for and celebrated.
- Van orden voted to cut medicaid, then takes credit for wisconsins extra medicaid dollars.
3. Confusión Terminológica: Medicaid vs. BadgerCare.
Una complicación significativa en Wisconsin es que muchos residentes no se dan cuenta de que su programa estatal de salud, BadgerCare, es la implementación local de Medicaid. Esta confusión es explotada por los políticos, dificultando que los votantes comprendan cómo los recortes federales impactarán directamente en su cobertura sanitaria.

- Tammy, please let wisconsinites know that medicaid is called badgercare here. Many people on badgercare dont know theyre on medicaid.
