Congressman Matt Gaetz was in the Capitol Wednesday to discuss health care reform, including his support for a block grant funding method for Medicaid, the joint state-federal health care program for the poor.

After a structured media availability, the former state representative elected to Congress last year held a more informal gaggle with members of the Capitol Press Corps.

Gaetz, a Fort Walton Beach Republican, served in the Florida House for six years.

Below is a Periscope video of his Q&A in the House media room.
