The Georgetown University Center for Children and Families held a special session of our new Child Medicaid Policy Institute on Tuesday, December 10. The Child Medicaid Policy Institute seeks to educate child health advocates, providers, stakeholders, and policymakers on the fundamentals of the Medicaid program and its importance for children, families, and other low-income individuals. The webinar covered:

• An overview of current Medicaid financing
• Proposals to radically restructure Medicaid through a block grant or per capita cap as well as other proposals that shift substantial costs to states
• How these proposed changes would impact state budgets, people enrolled in Medicaid and health care providers and plans.

Speakers:

• Edwin Park, Georgetown CCF Research Professor
• Anne Dwyer, Georgetown CCF Associate Research Professor

Moderated by Georgetown CCF’s Executive Director, Joan Alker
