Government-funded Health Programs
126. Medicaid Reform
Until we establish the Texas HSA in order to eliminate reliance on federal Medicaid, we support Medicaid block grants to the states and returning Medicaid to its original purpose to be a temporary assistance program for US citizens. We oppose any further expansion of Medicaid and stand in opposition to Medicaid for non-citizens. Medicaid funds shall only be used for genuine biological medical ailments. Medicaid 1115 Waiver allocations must be not be used to pay for the chemical sterilization of teenage girls or to cause abortions, and the funds must be redirected to genuine biological medical needs that will truly improve the lives of young women and authentically contribute to good preconception care, good birth outcomes, and good maternal health in Texas.
