What recourse would the federal government have if a State's legislature passed a measure blocking State funds from going towards Medicaid, a fed-state partnership?
Are the Feds going to send in the national guard to occupy the State capitol and force the state legislature to vote otherwise? LOL
Or could a federal court demand that the state pay its Medicaid dues? What would the court use to enforce this ruling?
If our legislature has the gall to refuse expanding coverage to the state that needs it most, yes, it should be forced to do so at gunpoint.
