“I worked with president Trump and Republicans in congress to level up our Medicaid assessments in bringing billions of dollars back to Wisconsin's BadgerCare program”
FALSE
What the record shows
Trump's 2025 Working Families Tax Cut Act included $1 trillion in Medicaid cuts over 10 years (CBO). Wisconsin faces $7 billion in cuts over 10 years and will lose 270,000 enrollees, not gain billions in funding.
