Abstract

The article discusses a division among Republican and Democratic governors on actions to be taken to address Medicaid costs in the U.S. in 2011. The issue is said to be aggravated by the 2010 health care reform which mandates a significant expansion in Medicaid coverage. Block grants were not supported by Democratic governors. Some of the Democrats reportedly prefer more cost-sharing to discourage excessive use of the health care system.
