The current Wisconsin administration placed a cap on Family Care, a program that helps keep the elderly and those who are disabled out of nursing homes (beginning July 2011). Then on December 13, 2011 the administration was ordered to lift the cap by the Centers of Medicare and Medicaid (CMS). On December 28, 2011 a proposal was announced to lift the cap, apparently without mention of the letter from CMS that asked for lifting of the cap.
The CMS letter can be found here: http://bloximages.chicago2.vip.townnews.com/host.madison.com/content/tncms/assets/v3/editorial/7/8a/78a9a71a-3243-11e1-a6db-001871e3ce6c/4efca4d49f981.pdf.pdf
Thus besides the issue of trying to take credit for something they were ordered to do, as the timeline suggests, an important issue we should lose sight of is that the above represents poor competence due to lack of understanding of federal health regulations in the first place (and poor homework).
