It’s light on details, but so far the Trump administration has proposed one big change to how we pay for health care in the U.S. President Trump wants to turn the federal Medicaid program into a block grant system. This basically means states would get a fixed amount of money from the feds to run the program themselves.
This idea has been popular among conservatives in Texas, but there are a lot of reasons it has never happened.
You don’t have to go too far back to find a Texas Republican espousing the virtues of a block grant program.
