States Need Congress to Break Obamacare’s Medicaid Gridlock | The Heritage Foundation:

Thankfully, there is a better path forward. Conservatives have offered a consensus plan—the Health Care Choice Plan—to provide states and people real choices.
Under this plan, the current funding streams—for subsidies to insurers and for the Medicaid expansion—would be converted to block grants to the states. States would be able to use these funds to develop their own programs to help low-income people without the complicated federal constraints of the Medicaid program.
It would end the funding imbalance between expansion and nonexpansion states and would stop the gaming and manipulation of Obamacare funding that inappropriately shifts costs to federal taxpayers.
