Follow the facts, not the big insurance lobby. Overhauling our current long-term care system will not control costs. Vote "no" to Family Care/IRIS 2.0 and leave our long-term care system alone. It is not broken, so don't "fix" it.
Why is this important?
Governor Walker and the Wisconsin Legislature eliminated IRIS, the nation's largest self-directed services program, in the 2015-2017 WI state budget when they voted to completely overhaul our long-term care system in favor of big insurance taking over. The people did not want this and aging and disability experts advised against it. The WI Department of Health Services & legislators said this overhaul had to happen to control costs. Facts show that this is not true. Health care costs, the real cost-driver, can be addressed without disrupting our long-term care system. We ask the legislature to listen to the people & the experts and to follow the facts, not the big insurance lobby. Please Save IRIS and leave Family Care alone.
