Send a pre-written message to the Wisconsin State Legislators that serve on the Healthcare and Insurance committees asking them to simply allow a hearing for the BadgerCare Public Option.

Too many of us are uninsured because we cannot afford the monthly costs, or do not use our insurance because of a well-founded fear of unaffordable deductibles, copays, medications, and surprise medical bills. Moreover, greedy insurance corporations continually inflate prices, squeezing pocketbooks and contributing to skyrocketing medical debt. Every year, premiums and copays increase, deductibles, and coverage exclusions grow larger. These unaffordable costs are a hidden, insidious way of denying care. 

Public health coverage plans, like BadgerCare, keep health care costs down because they do not have to pay for windfall insurance industry profits, and costly overhead for claims denial, and most importantly because we the people through our government set a fair price, not insurance companies, hospital conglomerates, and Big Pharma.

Wisconsin can move toward this vision of universal, affordable, equitable, and high quality health coverage through passing the BadgerCare Public Option Bill. 

We are asking that the Healthcare Committee and the Insurance Committee move the BadgerCare Public Option to a hearing.
