Citizen Action Medicaid Town Hall Wausau

It's important to note that Medicaid has not yet been cut. The fight continues and it's time for all of us to get involved. The budget resolution directs the budget outlines for various finance committees, which now will deliberate about how to proceed. The Energy & Commerce committee, which oversees Medicaid, was tasked with an $880 billion cut over the next ten years—approximately 10% of Medicaid's cost over that time. It is expected that these cuts will come from the program. Make no mistake: these budget cuts will cost lives. One million Wiscon...

Costs of Foolishness

“The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, and wiser people so full of doubts.” Bertrand Russell (1872 –1970), British philosopher The fools and fanatics currently in control of our country have no understanding of what government is about, how it operates, or the importance it has for people and society. But they are “certain of themselves” and their anti-government ideology. Many people are going to be hurt, and many will literally die from their ignorant, mean spirited, shortsighted actions. John Adams ...

Changing Hearts and Minds

Hi Friends, I attended this very workshop held by Planned Parenthood in January. I walked away with a renewed sense of optimism! The presentation we will have is a little shorter version, but impactful just the same. We have such a wonderful opportunity to learn how to hold those difficult conversations. We will learn about oursleves and others, how not to make assumptions, how to be better at showing empathy and really listening to the other person. Think about what you want to say and what you want to stay away from saying. Find that one-on-one opportunity and ...

WHO IS REPRESENTING YOU

Are you a senior citizen on Medicare? Will you be? Did you know Rep. Tom Tiffany is working to make it harder for you to afford medicine? Since 2022, federal law has allowed Medicare, working on your behalf, to negotiate prescription prices with drug companies. This resulted in lower prices for medicines like insulin. The law also caps the amount people on Medicare spend on prescription drugs at $2,000 per person annually. Additionally, the law requires drug companies to pay rebates to Medicare if their drug prices rise faster than the rate of inflation. All these ...

STOP THE SALE OF PINE CREST

One year ago, People for Pine Crest brought to light what was in store for the Pine Crest Nursing home. Our county, our future became the mantra as they began investigating the arguments for selling Pine Crest and what they have since learned.

Although the Medicaid reimbursement rate is low, People for Pine Crest found that while digging into the financials, that Pine Crest was not losing money as the county was trying to say. In fact, Lincoln ...
