Gwen Moore Applauds Wisconsin Democratic Lawmakers Work to Save Family Care
 
Washington, D.C. – Today, Congresswoman Gwen Moore (WI-4) released the following statement applauding Wisconsin Democratic lawmakers who are working to save the State’s Family Care program:
 
“I applaud the Democratic members of the Wisconsin legislature for taking action to determine the fate of one of our state's key programs for seniors and people with disabilities - Family Care.
 
“Family Care has and continues to be a critical resource in the state, providing much needed support to elderly and disabled Wisconsinites.
 
“It is clear that we are hearing opposing stories from the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and Governor Scott Walker's administration regarding the status of funding for Family Care. This is a serious situation and one that cannot be casually dismissed. 
 
“I urge Wisconsin Health Services Secretary Dennis Smith to meet with these legislators and fully explain the situation regarding Family Care. 
 
“My office will continue to work with CMS to find a resolution on this issue that is in the best interests of the people of Wisconsin.”
