EXCLUSIVE — A coalition of conservative and free-market business organizations is in a rare spat with the Trump administration over Medicaid funding sought by Florida.

A dozen conservative groups, including the Center for Freedom and Prosperity, the Center for Individual Freedom, the Small Business & Entrepreneurship Council, and the American Consumer Institute, say the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services are slow-rolling the approval of nearly $8 billion in Medicaid funding for Florida hospitals. In a letter to CMS Administrator Mehmet Oz, obtained by the Washington Examiner, the groups say the delay is “unprecedented” and “unjustified.”
