Forum on Medicaid expansion, previously closed to press, now open

The Association of Health Care Journalists worked with the Obama administration to resolve questions about whether reporters can dial in to an open door forum today about the Medicaid expansion. Originally, the administration’s notice said that the event was open to stakeholders and other interested parties, but was closed to the press. That runs counter to the administration’s policy about such events.

HHS and CMS have now confirmed to us that reporters can indeed call in to listen to the forum (details are availabe from AHCJ here).
