Book excerpt: Over the past several decades, the idea of transforming Medicare from its current structure to one known as "premium support" has been raised intermittently as an approach for reforming the Medicare program, often in the context of efforts to reduce the federal debt and deficit. The primary goals of a premium support system are to reduce the growth in Medicare spending, and rely more on a competitive marketplace. While the parameters of various premium support proposals differ, the general idea is for the federal government to make a predetermined contribution on behalf of each person on Medicare that would be applied toward the premium for a health insurance plan. This approach contrasts with the current Medicare program under which Medicare beneficiaries are entitled to a defined set of benefits, with the federal government contributing to the cost of these services, provided by either the traditional fee-for-service (FFS) program or Medicare Advantage plans.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Everyone agrees on the need to reform Medicare but not on how to do it. Some argue the program is too comprehensive, others that it is not comprehensive enough. Some suggest it pays too much for health care, others, too little. Meanwhile, the financial stakes continue to mount. Medicare spending exceeded $400 billion in 2007, making it more expensive than the entire health systems of most other nations, as well as the largest national public program other than Social Security and national defense. In R eforming Medicare, Henry J. Aaron and Jeanne M. Lambrew deftly guide readers through this complex debate. They identify and analyze the three leading approaches to reform. Updated social insurance would retain the current system while rationalizing coverage and reducing bureaucracy. Premium support would replace the current system with a capped, per-person payment that beneficiaries could use to buy health insurance. Consumer-directed Medicare would have beneficiaries pay for care up to a high deductible from government- supported savings accounts and offer premium-support coverage above the deductible. In addition to rating each option on its ability to promote access to health care, improve the quality of care, and control costs, the authors evaluate each reform's political strengths and weaknesses. Given the heat generated by the Medicare debate, it is unlikely that any single approach will be implemented in full. Consequently, Aaron and Lambrew describe incremental strategies that blend elements of each plan. Their analysis provides essential insight into the types of hybrid policies that Congress will consider in coming years.

Book excerpt: In response to concern about increases in the federal debt and deficit, prominent policymakers and commissions have proposed reducing federal spending on entitlement programs, including Medicare. One of the most frequently discussed proposals would transform Medicare from a defined benefit program, in which beneficiaries are guaranteed coverage for a fixed set of benefits, to a defined contribution or "premium support" program, in which beneficiaries are guaranteed a fixed federal payment to help cover their health care expenses. The idea of transforming Medicare into a system of premium supports, establishing fixed contributions per Medicare beneficiary, has been raised intermittently since the early 1980s, and more recently, a number of proposals have been advanced in the context of reducing the federal deficit and debt. Premium support proposals differ in a number of ways, including how federal payments on behalf of beneficiaries would be determined; whether Medicare fee-for-service would remain an option; what protections would be provided for low-income beneficiaries; and the extent to which the proposal would rely on a federal cap on Medicare spending to help constrain the growth in program spending. These differences have important implications for beneficiaries, Medicare program spending, health care providers, and health plans. This document provides a side-by-side comparison of the most recent proposals for transforming Medicare into a premium support program that have been put forth by policymakers and commissions as part of broad-based deficit- and debt-reduction packages.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many Americans believe that people who lack health insurance somehow get the care they really need. Care Without Coverage examines the real consequences for adults who lack health insurance. The study presents findings in the areas of prevention and screening, cancer, chronic illness, hospital-based care, and general health status. The committee looked at the consequences of being uninsured for people suffering from cancer, diabetes, HIV infection and AIDS, heart and kidney disease, mental illness, traumatic injuries, and heart attacks. It focused on the roughly 30 million-one in seven-working-age Americans without health insurance. This group does not include the population over 65 that is covered by Medicare or the nearly 10 million children who are uninsured in this country. The main findings of the report are that working-age Americans without health insurance are more likely to receive too little medical care and receive it too late; be sicker and die sooner; and receive poorer care when they are in the hospital, even for acute situations like a motor vehicle crash.
