CBO: Five Medicaid reform options floated by the GOP:
Lowering the FMAP for the expansion population, applying per-capita caps to the entire Medicaid population, eliminating states’ ability to charge provider taxes, applying per-capita caps to the expansion population only, and repealing the Biden administration’s eligibility and enrollment rules.

Obamacare exchanges: younger people are overpaying so that older people can be undercharged.
Just eliminating fraud would save the federal government $5T over ten years.
