Welfare and Poverty
"Gary Johnson agrees in supplying government assistance to those truly in need. (https://ballotpedia.org) His solution to welfare and poverty is that he would decrease the price of Medicare and Medicaid and increase state oversight of the programs.(https://ballotpedia.org) 'I would have the federal government cut Medicare and Medicaid by 43 percent and block grant the programs to the states with no strings. (https://ballotpedia.org) Instead of giving the states one dollar—and it’s not really giving because there are strings attached—the federal government needs to give the states 57 cents, take away the strings and give the states carte blanche for how to give healthcare to the poor,' he said."
