To submit a letter to the editor:
1) Draft your letter. Most letters are limited to 200 or 250 words.

Support our Efforts
We've done amazing things over the last few months to help speak out for Wisconsin's BadgerCare program. We're 2,000 supporters strong and we're gearing up for our post-budget fight to protect BadgerCare within the Wisconsin Department of Health Services. If you or your organization can, please consider making a contribution to help support our important work. We're aiming to raise $5,000 by the end of the year to help support a variety of activities and resources we'll be organizing to help BadgerCare supporters stand up and speak out to protect eligibility, benefits and affordability of this vital program. Please take a moment to visit our online campaign and to help spread the word.
Thank you for supporting BadgerCare and Medicaid.
