At Trump’s urging, states try to tilt Medicaid in conservative directions 

Wisconsin is preparing to recast its Medicaid program in ways that no state has ever done, requiring low-income adults to undergo drug screening to qualify for health coverage and setting time limits on assistance unless they work or train for a job.

The approach places BadgerCare, as the Wisconsin version of Medicaid is known, at the forefront of a movement by Republican governors and legislatures that is injecting a brand of moralism and individual responsibility into the nation’s largest source of public health insurance.

  • This is fantastic! Finally a state is showing common sense. Finally people that have been enslaved by the chains of imposed welfare, will have more incentive to actually stand on their own feet and rise up! Maybe then the impoverished can actually become proud contributing members of society. This is my “brand of moralism”as well.

  • Hope all the state start with this great idea. Ava Medicaid provider for the past 19 years, i think that is the best start up to control who really Deserve Medicaid .
