[Issues to research.] Part 1: Study will determine the impact, in La Crosse County, of Wisconsin not accepting the federal Medicaid Expansion funds. To include, how many that lost Badger Care made it through the Marketplace, did they find and purchase affordable insurance, and what was the transition like. Possibility of doing a cross-tab analysis with the medical facility health plans to compare what it is like to have insurance from the Marketplace versus Badger Care. Possibility of direct interviews and sharing the stories of individuals who were in the position of needing to make the transition. Ultimately, did those transitioning from Badger Care find affordable insurance in the Marketplace as was intended under Governor Walker’s plan?
