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.

Book excerpt: Medicare reform plans advocate reducing the capitation levels or determining these endogenously as a function of the premium bids, for example, the lowest, the second-lowest or a weighted average of the bids. Based on a price competition model tailored toward this market, and actual 2010 county-by county data, we estimate the impact such reforms would have on the plans's market shares, equilibrium premia, the government's and the beneficiaries' costs. We employ two methodologies to derive the model parameters. The predicted impacts are remarkably consistent and reveal, for example, that government costs could be reduced by 16.5%-21%.

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: From the Introduction: This volume presents 103 options that would decrease federal spending of increase federal revenues over the next decade. Those options cover many areas-ranging from defense to energy, Social Security, and provisions of the tax code. The budgetary effects identified for most of the options span the 10 years from 2014 to 2023 (the period covered by CBO's May 2013 baseline budget projections), although many of the options would have longer-term effects as well. Chapters 2 through 5 present options in the following categories: Chapter 2: Mandatory spending other than that for health-related programs; Chapter 3: Discretionary spending other than that for health-related programs, Chapter 4: revenues other than those related to health; Chapter 5: Health-related programs and revenue provisions. In addition to 11 options that are similar in scope to others in this volume, Chapter 5 includes 5 broad approaches for reducing spending on health care programs or revenues forgone because of tax provisions related to health care. Each would offer lawmakers a variety of possibilities for making changes in current laws. Chapter 6 differs from the rest of the volume; it discusses the challenges and the potential budgetary effects of eliminating a cabinet department.
