The Trump administration finalized a rule on Thursday scrapping a 2014 Medicaid regulation allowing states to divert payments meant for caretakers to unions. The Obama administration issued (https://www.freedomfoundation.com/press-release/trump-administration-finalizes-major-regulation-to-stop-union-dues-skimming-from-medicaid/) a regulation that protected a state practice that had, by that time, been practiced for decades. Since the 1990s, states have accepted Medicaid (https://dailycaller.com/2018/09/13/medicaid-expansion-states/) money from the federal government meant for home health service providers, often the family or friends of the Medicaid-assistance recipient, according to the conservative think tank Freedom Foundation. In distributing checks to the health providers, some states had begun skimming money and diverting it to unions and other interest groups in the form of dues, even though home health providers may not be members. The Center for Medicaid Services will begin cracking down on the process in July.

If they wish to support a union, that’s up to them,”

I thought some states had already done this but either way good on Donald for this one.
That was highway robbery and needed to be stopped.

Good on Trump. People in large groups are dangerous and their leaders nearly always corrupt.
