Here Is Why You Are Limited In Health Insurance Choices

The portion of the public that wants the federal government to get involved with health care reform obviously does not realize that the problem with the health care system is that they are already involved.
To be a health insurance provider in the state of Wisconsin the provider must meet the mandates the state government has in place. Here is a list of those mandates.
Here is an article explaining a little more about what Wisconsin mandates.
The state of Wisconsin has a state run health insurance plan called Badger Care. The Core Plan had to quit taking on new applicants because it ran out of money......not self sustaining. This left 20,000 applicants on the waiting list - so what would a lame duck governor do when the state does not have the money for the existing state government run health care......why start a new state run government health care plan called Badger Care Basic. The funny part about this new plan is that the state will ease up on the mandates for the public sector but will not remove the mandates for private sector insurance. You guessed it people, the state will allow more competition to keep the cost down for their insurance plans but won't allow the rest of us the same luxury. Sounds a lot like what the U.S. Congress does for its members.
