The Capital Times analysis 12/5/18:This bill deals with Medicaid waivers and fortifies a requirement that those who receive Medicaid benefits also hold a job. Trump's administration approved the work requirement, but Gov.-elect Tony Evers said he is considering ending the policy. Dozens of healthcare organizations and insurers opposed the plan, arguing that it could result in diminished access to healthcare for some.
A.P. update 1/29/20:Gov. Evers tried to block the work requirement, but the Republican-controlled Legislature kept it. Evers' administration has said it would implement it, but delayed from until April 2020.
Legislative Outcome:Passed Assembly 60-31-8 on 12/4/18; Passed Senate 18-15-0 on 12/4; Sen. Larson voted NO; Signed by Gov. Walker on 12/14
