Scott Walker refused to set up in-state health insurance exchanges, and turned down nearly a billion dollars in medicaid expansion. Now he has to call a special legislative session to clean up the mess, and blames Obama for the entire thing. WHEREAS, the State of Wisconsin is committed to protecting and caring for its citizens, especially its poorest and most vulnerable; and WHEREAS, after the difficulties many have experienced in using the federal exchange and seeing the dismal enrollment numbers from the federal government, it is necessary to take action to protect Wisconsinites from the failure of the federal governments rollout of the Affordable Care Act; NOW, THEREFORE, I, Scott Walker, Governor of the State of Wisconsin, pursuant to Article IV, Section 11, and Article V, Section 4 of the Wisconsin Constitution, do hereby require the convening of a special session of the Legislature at the Capitol in Madison, to commence at 11 a.m. on December 2, 2013, solely to consider and act upon the following legislation: 1. LRB-3678; 2. LRB-3687, both relating to a three-month delay through March 31, 2014, of BadgerCare and the Health Insurance Risk Sharing Plan.
