Federal health care law continues to create arguments

The state would spend $76.5 million and hire 89 workers over the next two years to implement federal legislation such as the health care law, under Gov. Scott Walker's budget bill. That spending request shows just a part of the massive task - encompassing everything from computer projects to consumer outreach - that must be completed to expand coverage for the uninsured under the federal Affordable Care Act, sometimes called Obamacare. How well this implementation goes will have substantial effects on both the uninsured and state and federal taxpayers. (JOURNAL SENTINEL, 3/11)
