Millionaire's children on BadgerCare

Posted: May 30, 2012 2:06 PM PDT

The three children of a Columbus businessman receive their health insurance through the state's plan for low-income families, BadgerCare, despite their father's estimated worth of $20 million.

A 2011 divorce required Michael Eisenga to provide health insurance for his three young boys. The children's mother, Claire Hawthorne told 27 News Eisenga enrolled the children in BadgerCare.

Research director Jon Peacock of the Wisconsin Council on Children & Families said the state uses no income limit when assessing the eligibility of children for BadgerCare.

Eisenga has yet to respond to emails and phone calls from 27 News, seeking comment on why he enrolled his children in the state's low-income health insurance program, despite his wealth.

Peacock said a parent of Eisenga's economic situation would receive no state subsidy toward a child's health insurance premium in BadgerCare. But Peacock told 27 News a child's mere participation in BadgerCare would result in a cost-break in comparison to individual health insurance plans in the private market.

Peacock said participating families in BadgerCare at 200 percent of the federal poverty level receive health insurance plans for their children with less coverage options than the children of families with lower incomes.

Income limits on the participation of children in BadgerCare were lifted in 2008. Peacock said the risk of wealthier parents such as Eisenga enrolling children is outweighed by the benefits of opening the program to all.

if you read more about the guy, he's claiming that he makes no money anymore....he shifted his income so that he doesn't report as much and now wants them to look at that "income" in determining his obligation.
