I didn’t address parts there I should have.
I believe states already have Medicaid programs. In California it’s called Medi-Cal.
California opted to throw as many people on it as they could.
It’s my take that the federal government is going to provide block grants, and the states will have to manage the programs themselves.
It puts more pressure on the states to stay within budget. It may cost some federal overhead too. I’m not sure how the whole thing works.
We have too many people on it in California, and if that number can be cut back, it would be good for the state and the federal government.
If this affects you negatively, I’m sorry.
That said, and I do NOT mean this in a snarky way, being sorry doesn't cut it. What is your solution to the problem of not being able to support so many people on Medicaid? See my prior post.
No,it does not affect me negatively. I agree with you. Too many illegals have been allowed Medicaid....which goes along with other welfare programs. Time for states to realize that federal taxpayer dollars are not up for grabs...and when US citizens need Medicaid, they can hold their state responsible for how they handle federal block money!
Time to put responsibility back on states. That is what Constitution was all about, anything NOT in Constitution should be a state issue, and responsibility! If their taxpayers are stupid enough to keep being state taxed for extra Medicaid monies, oh well! Those who want less state taxes will protest, and take their issues to state legislators!
