Program Description
BadgerCare is a health insurance program for low-income working families with children. It provides coverage for families with incomes too high for Medicaid who are without access to health insurance. The program seeks to eliminate barriers to successful employment by providing a transition for families from welfare to private insurance. BadgerCare is based on the premise that health care is essential for working families with children.
