Did you know that Wisconsin is one of ten states to not expand Medicaid? Medicaid is an insurance program for low-income individuals and families. In Wisconsin, Medicaid is known as BadgerCare.

Did you know that BadgerCare expansion would provide access to affordable health care for nearly 90,000 Wisconsinites? That is 90,000 neighbors, family members, and friends who could receive access to affordable health insurance. Sign the petition today! act.fightcancer.org/a/wi-badgercar…
