Senator Ron Johnson's Wisconsin Town Hall: Addressing Federal Spending, Medicaid, and Immigration Concerns

Published | Video Starts at 47:22

I'm glad you asked me. I've already laid out it, but I'll do it again. Traditional Medicaid, designed for vulnerable mothers, disabled children was set up. For every dollar the state kicks in, the federal government puts in $1.33 [for disabled children]. Again, that is a system that seems to make sense. The states are going to administer it, not the federal government. (47:22–47:28)

CLAIM

Asserts that the federal government contributes $1.33 for every dollar spent by the state on Medicaid for disabled children.
