Trump's health care fix, touted in his SOTU speech.
This is a link to an official government press release.
Trump Administration Announces Transformative Medicaid Healthy Adult Opportunity https://www.cms.gov/newsroom/press-releases/trump-administration-announces-transformative-medicaid-healthy-adult-opportunity Today, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) announced the Healthy Adult Opportunity (HAO), which is an optional demonstration initiative. It is designed to give states unprecedented tools to design innovative health coverage programs tailored to the unique needs of adult beneficiaries, while holding states accountable for results and maintaining strong protections for our most at risk populations. Modulo the rah rah spin, it looks to me like an open invitation to serious corruption at the state level.

1. It's block grants by another name
The assumption seems to be that if they don't actually call it "block grants" it won't need Congressional approval. I imagine the courts will take a dim view.
