Shawn Doherty's article in CapTimes is really worth reading - 3/24
Vital Signs: Secretary Smith vs. researcher Jon Peacock: why health plan for poor is failing
Adverse selection, death cycle, insurer's cherry picking ... learn all about it!? More emergency room care, broke hospitals, higher rates for the insured, personal bankruptcies, homeless families, epidemics, learning disabilities ... what else?
#Obamacare WI 1848 Forward: WI - #Healthcare - Avoid Adverse Selection - radical #Walker too!
Can A Bird Fly With Only A Right Wing?!
Motivated by the current (2011) political climate in Wisconsin it seems reasonable to devote some time and effort to comment on issues and some of the hyperbole. So we in the public should do what we can to help focus "journalists" on delineating real facts versus spin. If you accept the spin you do not understand the policy implications.

BADGERCARE BASIC ENROLLMENT FROZEN 3/18/2011
Update: 3/19/2011 ... a little more information
State issues enrollment freeze, premium increase for BadgerCare Basic health coverage WSJ by Wahlberg

So what do you really think it means? Can you take it a face value? If you can project the bad news why can't you raise premiums now? Does the $1M cushion apply to the current (estimated/projected) deficit ... so the deficit is not as big as it seems? Are more/other funds available from Federal Government? We need a specific time line not a "we will get back to you" kind of message about premium increases!
Just what will be done to help denied enrollees find "alternative health plans." Is anybody going to try and get some answers?
