Medical Society Urges JFC to Just Say No to Fund Transfer
Anticipating Friday's action by the Joint Finance Committee, the Wisconsin Medical Society sent a letter to committee members urging them not to approve the governor's plan to transfer $175 million from the Patients Compensation Fund to plug a Medicaid hole. (budget paper 377)
If approved, the transfer could destabilize the fund and, warns WMS senior vice president of government relations Mark Grapentine, could lead to "an expensive, wasteful legal battle."
