Budget cuts Aurora Sinai's state aid

Gov. Scott Walker's budget proposal would eliminate $9.4 million in state and federal funding over two years that Aurora Sinai Medical Center has received to help offset the cost of treating low-income patients. The proposal to eliminate the $4.7 million a year in state and federal funding is part of the effort to balance the state budget. The plan to eliminate the Essential Access City Hospital, or EACH, program was first reported by Wisconsin Health News. (MILWAUKEE JOURNAL SENTINEL, 4/22)
