Wisconsin Farmers Union is asking the state to expand BadgerCare by accepting federal Medicaid expansion dollars. With the expansion, they say they can reach more farmers, such as Dylan Bruce. He and his wife operate Circadian Organics and Driftless Seed in Ferryville. He’s also president of his Vernon and Crawford County WFU chapter. Because farming is such a unique business, he doesn’t qualify for BadgerCare. And because he’s got a preexisting condition, he’s got to pay for expensive insurance. He says expanding BadgerCare can help mitigate the pitfalls of the current system.
