Badger Care Plus

Doyle plans to expand BadgerCare Plus proposal to benefit farmers Where should one go with this? My first thought, when I saw this headline, was of how the Democrats always want to give away other people's money, at election time.

At a town hall meeting Tuesday, Doyle said he plans to change how income is calculated for farmers in order to qualify for the BadgerCare Plus health insurance program currently under development.

Doyle has "town hall meetings"? How come I never get invited? Was his body guard with him? However, the idea of combining a few buracracies isn't a bad idea, IF it cuts costs, not raises them.

While the program would also apply to anyone who is self-employed, farmers are the most likely to be impacted by the depreciation issue, said Jason Helgerson, policy director for the state Department of Health and Family Services.

Does this mean I can apply? This is "self-employment", right? I don't get paid so I could be considered "low income". I like all kinds of farmers - dairy, corn, etc. They're the reason we're a well fed nation and why my hinder has increased over the years. However, whenever a politician wants to increase something, it means that there will be money "escaping" from everyone pockets.
