The Trump administration is poised to kick off a major partisan feud over Medicaid in 2020, as officials are reportedly planning to soon introduce a way for states to block grant Medicaid money. The guidance, which The Wall Street Journal said could be released as early as this month, will test the Trump administration's ability to allow states the flexibility to make drastic changes to Medicaid.

Medicaid expansion is the big news for Labette County's Statehouse delegation in the 2020 Kansas Legislature, which opened a week ago.
The House passed a Medicaid expansion bill in 2019, but the Senate leadership did not allow a vote on it. In late 2019, state Sen. Jim Denning and Gov. Laura Kelly worked out compromise expansion language before the legislative session began. If passed in the Legislature, Kansas would become the 37th state to expand Medicaid under the 2010 federal Affordable Care Act.

Conservative Republican lawmakers are looking to modify a bipartisan plan for expanding Medicaid in Kansas by adding two provisions that Democratic Gov. Laura Kelly opposes.
GOP conservatives want to insert a work requirement for able-bodied adults who receive the state's Medicaid health coverage under the expanded program. They're also looking to add a "right of conscience" provision that would allow medical personnel to decline for religious reasons to provide services such as abortion, birth control and gender reassignment care.

The federal government sends more than $400 billion every year out to states to fund Medicaid programs. It doesn't seem like it's too much to expect for Washington to know what it's getting for that kind of money.
But figuring out what states are doing — or at least comparing what different states are doing — has long been an impenetrable maze. There are variations in Medicaid policy in every state. And because states maintain different Medicaid management information systems, even collecting comparable data has been an impossible dream.
