Relating to: BadgerCare purchase option, basic plan, state-based insurance exchange, and granting rule-making authority. (FE)

Summary

The bill directs Wisconsin’s Department of Health Services to design a basic health plan for low‑income residents and to seek federal approval for it. It also establishes a program that lets people who earn above BadgerCare’s current limits buy coverage through the state, using tax credits and a new state‑based exchange. The exchange would be built by the insurance commissioner to offer these options and coordinate with existing programs.
