NEW in @NEJM: @MelindaBBuntin explains what states can learn (but also what they won't) from Tennessee's negotiation with @CMSGov to change its #Medicaid program to a block grant.

@NEJM @MelindaBBuntin @CMSGov "These efforts are distinct from block-grant bills proposed
by congressional Republicans and extensively debated in
2017, which sought to limit federal spending and shift financial risk to states in exchange for somewhat greater programmatic flexibility."

This illustration shows how what Tennessee's proposal would look like in financial terms. Again, this is the opening bid in a lengthy negotiation. (📷: @NEJM)
Also, because @VUHealthPol is full of amazing researchers, @DusetzinaS and @MelindaBBuntin are ALL OVER the NEJM site right now. You should read Stacie's perspective on #Medicare #PartD while you stop by. 😊nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…
