The Picture of Health?
Considering Medicaid Expansion in Wisconsin


Virtual event | October 4, 2024 | 12:30 – 1:30 p.m.

On October 4, our popular virtual event series Forum Friday revisited a critical debate in Wisconsin: whether to expand Medicaid health coverage under the federal Affordable Care Act.

We examined Wisconsin’s unique approach to Medicaid eligibility, the policies adopted by other states, and the implications of maintaining the status quo or expanding the program. We followed up by talking to our guests about their views on Wisconsin’s options for Medicaid moving forward.
