Medicaid is a separate program from medicare. Currently it is the fastest growing entitlement program. He would take the money that the Federal government currently spends on Medicaid and send it to the individual states and they would then have the responsibility for administering the program. And they would also have the right to modify it. His position is that the federal government has no constitutional right to be involved in this program and that the state governments would do a better job of fighting waste, fraud, and malingering as well as finding better ways to deliver the care. In the end, the assumption is that the taxing for the medicaid would also shift from the federal government to the state governments and then the federal government would be out of medicaid altogether and each of the states would do as their people mandated.
