Wisconsin should be praised for helping low-income people get health insurance who wouldn't be able to afford it otherwise. Wisconsin, like many other states, has a programme to help its low-income residents get the health care they need, even if they can't afford any kind of health insurance. This programme is called BadgerCare, and it helps families in Wisconsin who can't find affordable health insurance get a wide range of health benefits.
Like other states, Wisconsin has set rules about who can join the BadgerCare programme. These are the requirements:
- If a family wants to join the BadgerCare programme, they can't have health insurance from anywhere else.
- Each family that wants to take part in BadgerCare must have at least one child under 19 living with them.
- Each family that wants to join BadgerCare must meet the income requirements. This means that the family can't make more money than what is allowed by the income guidelines.
Some families get free health care through BadgerCare, but other families may have to pay a low premium based on how much money they make. Even if you have to pay a premium, it will be low because it is based on how much money you make. The BadgerCare programme is a great way for people in Wisconsin to get affordable health insurance when it seems like they have no other options.
There are a number of ways to find out more about the BadgerCare programme. You can ask the State of Wisconsin's Office of the Insurance Commissioner for more information about the BadgerCare programme, or you can read about it on their website. You can also find out about the BadgerCare programme by contacting your local Certifying Tribal Agency or social or human services department. Do you want to get to the point? Call 800-363-3002.
