@sarahkliff And premium support is part of Medicaid, right? So even that aspect is still technically "Medicaid expansion."
So, I'm confused by reports that TN isn't expanding Medicaid. What they outline here is the AR model, right? http://bit.ly/14vRPj4

@kyledcheney Thanks! That AP story had me thinking I was crazy. But the part about leveraging available fed. funds seems to spell it out.

@sarahkliff Sounds like he said no to traditional medicaid expansion but is asking HHS if TN can do Ark "private option," right? -
@ArkDavey That's what I thought, which is why the AP take makes no sense to me: http://timesdaily.com/stories/Tennessee-governor-says-no-to-Medicaid-expansion,204322 … -
@sarahkliff TN Health Care Campaign put out press release similar to AP--but based on Haslam quotes I've seen, they must be missing nuance?

@sarahkliff Agree! TN is expansion state in our count, just like AR. Updated map forthcoming. -
@CPearsonAvalere Thank you! Felt like I was losing my mind :)
-
@sarahkliff @cpearsonavalere would love to read your thoughts on CA's Duals Demo MOU w/ CMS released today. Much smaller than CA had hoped. -
Shifting gears to focus on CA duals demo MOU, as requested by @yosoyeagleeye. CA continues national trend of slower rollout & fewer benes.
-
@CPearsonAvalere thank you! I must have interpreted incorrectly, thought it had more benes than previously proposed.

@sarahkliff You're right on -- Haslam wants to do what Arkansas is doing. That's taking expansion dollars and buying pvt coverage.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@sarahkliff yes, those points are exactly what Arkansas is proposing to do.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@sarahkliff Yep, & saying until HHS gives him the thumbs up to use taxpayer money to pay private insurers, TN's not doing anything. Ugh.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@sarahkliff sounds similar to the "not a partnership" partnership statesThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
