Wisconsin Cuts Back On Cancer Program For Low-Income Women, Blaming Obamacare
WASHINGTON -- Wisconsin is in the midst of dramatically restructuring a health care program for low-income women, attributing the move to the Affordable Care Act. The changes have taken women's health advocates by surprise, and they are now trying to convince the state that setting a six-month timeline to dramatically alter the program is unnecessary and could leave many women without services for breast and cervical cancer.
The Wisconsin Well Woman Program provides preventative health screening services to low-income women who are uninsured or underinsured. The program, which has been around for nearly 20 years, is funded by both the state and the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and has been credited with providing more than 500,000 breast and cervical cancer screenings to more than 70,000 women.
Wisconsin's system is designed to help women locally, with a "coordinating agency" in each of the state's 72 counties aimed at helping women navigate the system of more than 1,000 participating providers.
But on July 1, this entire system is set to change: There will be just 5-10 coordinating agencies in the state and only a handful of health care providers. And although the restructuring is set to go into effect in just a few months, no one knows who those providers will be.
"There are women who are being screened and detected for cancer now who cannot schedule their follow-up appointment because no one knows who the providers will be after July," said Sara Finger, executive director of the Wisconsin Alliance for Women's Health.

3. Yes, the grime reapers are here.
The GOP has become the personification of death.
They want to deny Medicaid expansion. That is a death toll to many. They want to repeal and not replace ACA. The millions that signed up will again have nothing. They too will die.
How can there still be people that are uninsured or underinsured since Obamacare is the law of the land? It's not the fault of the GOP or the Koch brothers or Scott Walker. These women just need to learn how to prioritize:
I guess what I would say, if you looked at that person's budget, and you looked at their cable bill, their cell phone bill, other things that they're spending on, it may turn out that it's just they haven't prioritized health care because right now everybody is healthy.

Just get rid of all your fancy cell phones and high dollar cable packages and you can dodge the grime reaper.

I blame Obama. Most of the millions that have signed up under ObamaCrap were people that lost their insurance because of ObamaCrap and were forced onto the exchange. Very few of the previously uninsured have signed up for anything except medicaid.
If Obama had not created the insurance gap by wanting medicaid expanded and instead offered the tax cuts to those people, the full burden would have stayed on the federal level. Under Obama's plan, he dumps the costs of expanded medicaid back on the states in couple of years.
A few of the smarter governors new better than to take on that added costs. Unemployed leeches and democrat base voters, BIRM , are already driving states bankrupt.

Didn't the Obumbles flunkies cut 700 million from Medicaid?
Typical primitive. Ignore truth, blame others.

Otherwise, the grime reapers will get you when you cross over the rubicon, and cause a scripted arc with those bear wires.

I think that was Medicare, to get the (c)ACA passed and budgeted under a trillion.
But you're like me, one government handout is pretty much like the reat of them. They all look alike to me.
(I hope some DUmbass reads that and thinks it's racist!) :rotf:

If you actually read the original article (beware,Huffpo almost always locks any computer I have been on with all its garbage) you will find that this is the state trying to end a bureaucracy which Ocare has promised to be redundant and needless.
There is a government agency in each county to administer care Ocare has mandated by insurance companies which is mandated for all to own.
It is nothing more then government "workers" trying to preserve a non essential system.
