Changes to Medicaid approved in Gov. Scott Walker's budget repair bill likely signal changes in coverage and funding for the state's health programs for the low-income and disabled. Sauk Prairie Memorial Hospital CEO Larry Schroeder said he expects a reduction in both funding and coverage for Medicaid, a state-federal program that covers 1.2 million people in Wisconsin.
