Next time, @sarahkliff should mention per capita caps. CBPP hates it (http://www.cbpp.org/cms/?fa=view&id=3846 …), AAF likes it (http://americanactionforum.org/research/primer-medicaid-per-capita-caps …).

@sarahkliff Thing is that you describe block grants as *the* Republican plan vs. here's an explainer on block grants. -
@reihan It is the plan proposed in the Jindal proposal and the Ryan budget, so think that’s fair? Neither mention per capita caps. -
@sarahkliff I'd recommend approach of "Block grants -- here's what they are, here are a few versions" as opposed to "this is the GOP plan." -
@reihan Fair point. Appreciate the feedback! -
@sarahkliff My pleasure. I'd definitely update with Hatch-Upton sooner rather than later, as that's a real legislative proposal. -
@reihan@sarahkliff Could also do an comparison on where other programs shifted to blocks in the past and Rhode Island's Block experiment. -
@EricMGarcia@reihan Yeah, I am especially interested in digging into Rhode Island. It’s a story idea on the docket! -
@sarahkliff@reihan 1/2 Looking forward to it. Another thing I've been interested in is state who turned down expansion altering Medicaid

@sarahkliff Also, link to Hatch-Upton (pretty different from block grants as you describe them) would be good too: http://energycommerce.house.gov/sites/republicans.energycommerce.house.gov/files/analysis/20130501Medicaid.pdf …Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
