President calls on Congress to federalize Medicaid program
Article Abstract:
Under President Reagan's redistribution of government economic programs, the Medicaid and Medicare programs were cited to be federalized. Starting in 1984 the federal government would assume full financial responsibility for Medicaid and Medicare programs. As part of the financial swap between federal and state governments, the full responsibility for Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) and food stamps would go to the states.
