The House will vote Thursday on a non-binding resolution to disagree with the Trump administration’s plan to let states apply for a waiver to convert part of their Medicaid funding into block grants.

Republicans object to the resolution, which they said is little more than a press release. They argue Democrats are focused on scoring political points and are not interested in having a serious debate about the policy.
