Wisconsin Republicans approve Governor Scott Walker plan for Medicaid cuts

[midnight]

Medicaid cuts expected to result in about 65,000 poor people leaving the health insurance programs have been approved by the Legislature’s Republican-controlled budget committee.

All Republicans on the Joint Finance Committee voted Thursday to approve the plan by Gov. Scott Walker’s administration.

All four Democrats opposed it.

The plan now heads to President Barack Obama’s administration for approval.
