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.

Download or read book Reforming Medicare written by Henry Aaron and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2009-11-01 with total page 216 pages. 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 Synopsis Medicare Spending and the Independent Payment Advisory Board by : Ryan D. Brown
Download or read book Medicare Spending and the Independent Payment Advisory Board written by Ryan D. Brown and published by Nova Science Publishers. This book was released on 2012 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Among some proponents of health care reform, a major impetus for reform, in additional to improving quality and increasing access, has been the rising cost of the Medicare program. In response, in part, to overall growth in Medicare program expenditures and growth in expenditures per Medicare beneficiary, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), created the Independent Payment Advisory Board (IPAB), and charged the Board with developing proposals to "reduce the per capita rate of growth in Medicare spending." This book provides an overview of the Board's structure, and reviews the expedited and other parliamentary procedures that relate to congressional consideration of the Board's proposals and impact.
Book Synopsis Medicare Now and in the Future by : Marilyn Moon
Download or read book Medicare Now and in the Future written by Marilyn Moon and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-12-21 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1997, this volume approaches the controversial issue of Medicare and its future. First passed in 1965 to aid payments for elderly and disabled medical care, the costs had ballooned in the 1990s, asking questions about how to improve its efficiency. An original goal of this book was to contextualise Medicare within the anticipated comprehensive restructuring of American healthcare. With Medicare 10% of the federal budget at the original time of publication, Marilyn Moon now takes another look at Medicare and discusses how the budget could be tightened without threatening the function of Medicare, with an emphasis on better targeting. In particular, the novel issue of means testing is explored. Having researched Medicare since 1981, Moon recasts her book by discussing issues including Medicare’s context, ensuring access, containing costs, the Medicare Catastrophic Coverage Act, the potential for marginal changes, reducing costs, expanding Medicare and ultimately how Medicare should look to change.

This book was released on 2008-06 with total page 16 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although private health plans were originally envisioned in the 1980s as a potential source of Medicare savings, such plans have generally increased program spending. In 2006, Medicare paid $59 billion to Medicare Advantage (MA) plans -- an estimated $7.1 billion more than Medicare would have spent if MA beneficiaries had received care in Medicare fee-for-service (FFS). MA plans receive a per member per month payment to provide services covered under Medicare FFS. For this testimony, the author examined MA plans¿: (1) projected allocation of rebates; (2) projected cost sharing; and (3) projected revenues and expenses. Charts and tables.
