6. Block-grant Medicaid to the states. The state governments know their people best and can manage the administration of Medicaid far better without federal overhead.

This is brilliant. Not only does it take health care out of the hands of the Federal government but it would also change Medicaid from an entitlement to a regular appropriation. In time, hopefully, the block grants to the states could then be gradually reduced, transferring to whole question to the states where it should be under the Constitution.

Absolutely brilliant. And I get a chuckle out of the motivation the states will suddenly have to investigate and weed out cases of fraud and abuse. I worked in the ‘social services’ field for a few years, and the disregard by management for a field agent telling them that someone was frauding the program and should be investigated was disheartening to say the least.

In other words you want them to end Medicaid.
