Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, certain persons who receive health services under the
Medical Assistance program, also known in this state as BadgerCare, are required
to contribute a cost sharing payment to the cost of certain health services. This bill
eliminates all cost sharing payments for prescription drugs under the Medical
Assistance program. The Medical Assistance program is a joint state and federal
program that provides health services to individuals who have limited financial
resources.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as
an appendix to this bill.
