surveys are components of the HCFA evaluation of the Wisconsin 
BadgerCare Section 1115 Medicaid demonstration and Title XXI (SCHIP)

SCHIP program, and supporting families making transitions from welfare 
to work. Other specific features of BadgerCare will be examined as

inform HCFA policy regarding Medicaid demonstrations and SCHIP, and
