Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Medicare program does not offer protection against the costs of most outpatient prescription drugs. Some observers suggest that a drug benefit should be added to the federal program while others recommend alternative approaches to assuring access for the target population. In 1999, the issue received attention as part of the overall discussion of Medicare reform. The National Bipartisan Commission on the Future of Medicare was charged with making recommendations concerning a number of program issues. The Commission failed to get the necessary votes for a reform proposal. The plan designed by Senator Breaux and Congressman Thomas (Co-Chairmen of the Commission) failed 10-7. A modified version of this reform plan was introduced by Senators Breaux and Frist as S. 1895. A significantly modified measure, S. 2807 (referred to as "Breaux-Frist 2000") was introduced June 28, 2000. S. 2807 would give beneficiaries access to outpatient drugs and, in certain cases, other supplemental benefits, through enrollment in either a Medicare Prescription Plus plan offered by a private entity or a Medicare]Choice plan. The Administration's Medicare reform plan introduced by Senator Moynihan (S. 2342) would establish, as part of the Medicare program itself, an optional prescription drug benefit for all beneficiaries. The federal ...

Download or read book Medicare Expansion written by and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: President Clinton has proposed allowing people ages 62 through 64 to buy into Medicare if they do not have access to employer-sponsored or federal health insurance. Displaced workers ages 55 through 61 generally would also be allowed to buy in if they lost employer-sponsored insurance. In addition, retirees ages 55 and over whose former employers terminated or substantially reduced retiree health insurance would be permitted to extend their COBRA coverage (defined on page 6) until age 65. The proposals have been introduced as H.R. 3470 (Representative Stark) and S. 1789 (Senator Moynihan). The Presidentâ€TMs proposals would help people in these age groups obtain health insurance. While most of them already are covered by employment-based, government, or private non-group plans, nearly one in seven is uninsured. Many without coverage find that private non-group insurance is too expensive or, if they have pre-existing medical conditions, unavailable. However, the cost of buying into Medicare (estimated to be $300 to $400 a month) or continuing COBRA coverage may also exceed what most uninsured can afford. Questions have been raised about whether Medicare buy-ins would result in costs to the federal government and whether Medicare should be expanded in light of the anticipated insolvency of the Part A trust fund. Some argue that legislative action should be deferred until the issue is considered by the National Bipartisan Commission on the Future of Medicare. Proponents argue that the proposal is largely self-funded and is needed now to address a growing problem.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essential reading for every American who must navigate the US health care system. Why was the Obama health plan so controversial and difficult to understand? In this readable, entertaining, and substantive book, Stuart Altman—internationally recognized expert in health policy and adviser to five US presidents—and fellow health care specialist David Shactman explain not only the Obama health plan but also many of the intriguing stories in the hundred-year saga leading up to the landmark 2010 legislation. Blending political intrigue, policy substance, and good old-fashioned storytelling, this is the first book to place the Obama health plan within a historical perspective. The authors describe the sometimes haphazard, piece-by-piece construction of the nation’s health care system, from the early efforts of Franklin Roosevelt and Harry Truman to the later additions of Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush. In each case, they examine the factors that led to success or failure, often by illuminating little-known political maneuvers that brought about immense shifts in policy or thwarted herculean efforts at reform. The authors look at key moments in health care history: the Hill–Burton Act in 1946, in which one determined poverty lawyer secured the rights of the uninsured poor to get hospital care; the "three-layer cake" strategy of powerful House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Wilbur Mills to enact Medicare and Medicaid under Lyndon Johnson in 1965; the odd story of how Medicare catastrophic insurance was passed by Ronald Reagan in 1988 and then repealed because of public anger in 1989; and the fact that the largest and most expensive expansion of Medicare was enacted by George W. Bush in 2003. President Barack Obama is the protagonist in the climactic chapter, learning from the successes and failures chronicled throughout the narrative. The authors relate how, in the midst of a worldwide financial meltdown, Obama overcame seemingly impossible obstacles to accomplish what other presidents had tried and failed to achieve for nearly one hundred years.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The decade ahead will test the nation's nearly 4 million nurses in new and complex ways. Nurses live and work at the intersection of health, education, and communities. Nurses work in a wide array of settings and practice at a range of professional levels. They are often the first and most frequent line of contact with people of all backgrounds and experiences seeking care and they represent the largest of the health care professions. A nation cannot fully thrive until everyone - no matter who they are, where they live, or how much money they make - can live their healthiest possible life, and helping people live their healthiest life is and has always been the essential role of nurses. Nurses have a critical role to play in achieving the goal of health equity, but they need robust education, supportive work environments, and autonomy. Accordingly, at the request of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, on behalf of the National Academy of Medicine, an ad hoc committee under the auspices of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine conducted a study aimed at envisioning and charting a path forward for the nursing profession to help reduce inequities in people's ability to achieve their full health potential. The ultimate goal is the achievement of health equity in the United States built on strengthened nursing capacity and expertise. By leveraging these attributes, nursing will help to create and contribute comprehensively to equitable public health and health care systems that are designed to work for everyone. The Future of Nursing 2020-2030: Charting a Path to Achieve Health Equity explores how nurses can work to reduce health disparities and promote equity, while keeping costs at bay, utilizing technology, and maintaining patient and family-focused care into 2030. This work builds on the foundation set out by The Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health (2011) report.
