SB110 would extend postpartum coverage for Medicaid recipients from two months to 12 months.
The Senate passed SB110 on September 14, 2023, by a vote of 32 to 1. We have assigned minuses to the ayes because neither health care nor social welfare is the legitimate object of government. Medicaid, as with many other ‘entitlement programs,’ discriminatorily and unjustly provides “eligible” low-income persons, who have little or no tax liability, with government funds at the expense of other hard-working citizens. Wisconsin must reject the use of taxpayer dollars for this ever-expanding and unsustainable federal-state program that is not authorized under Article 1, Section 8, of the U.S. Constitution.
