[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 583169, member: 1550"] In Wisconsin, the Medicaid stops at 19, regardless. And you get Medicaid if you are low income enough whether or not you have a disabled child...all you need is to have a minor child (well, it goes up to nineteen). People like Tom, with no health insurance at work which is getting more and more common, is on what is called Badgercare now, but that will end at Jumper's nineteenth birthday. The healthcare reform bill has given each state the option of accepting federal money to expand Medicaid, which would greatly help many families in Wisconsin, but our govenor is uber-conservative and for some reason that seems to mean you don't care if people have healthcare coverage or not so he turned it down, even though most Repugblicans accepted it. Some of our counties are trying to see if they can get the extra Medicaid anyway, but it hasn't happened yet. At any rate, if this man gets in office again, and I think it's a **** shoot to take a guess right now, we will move to a state that does provide Medicaid for people who don't have children nineteen or under. The twenty-six age is only if you have insurance. It does not apply to Medicaid, at least not in Wisconsin. by the way, we do pay a premium and co-pays for our Medicaid, which I think is very fair. Anyhow...that's the scoop in Wisconsin. Every state handles Medicaid differently even if the money comes from the feds. [/QUOTE]
