Giving Medicaid back to the states. Medicaid block grants will send unwanted ripples through the health system.
If Medicaid is given back to the states in a form that caps federal funds, many states with growing poor populations will be severely damaged... Services will be cut back, access will be compromised, maintenance and replacement of buildings and equipment will be delayed and new technology will not be acquired. Eventually services will be terminated; institutions will close or will relocate to areas where they can survive.
