(Wisconsin Radio Network) The Wisconsin Department of Health Services is highlighting the impact of federal budget cuts on Medicaid recipients.

According to the Wisconsin Radio Network, State Medicaid Director Bill Hanna says they could have to change who is eligible should cuts happen, and hospitals and other healthcare consumers will have to pick up the costs.

Hanna says they could also have to get rid of certain services they provide. Estimates show if cuts went into effect, Wisconsin could lose up to $16.8 billion in federal funding over a ten year period.
