MA for Tomorrow: Moving Beyond the Status Quo to Advance Concrete Policy Changes for the Future of Medicare Advantage
BY CECI CONNOLLY AND MICHAEL BAGEL Medicare Advantage (MA) has passed the tipping point, delivering coverage and care to more than half of the senior population in the US. The Congressional Budget Office projects more than 60 percent of people 65 years and older will be in the program by 2030. As enrollment soars and interest in value-based health care grows, it is imperative policymakers modernize the program that is expected to cost $7.5 trillion over the next decade. Rather than taking the standard Washington posture of declaring victory or defending the status quo, our provider-aligned, nonprofit member pla...

Hit by Scandal, Petro Can Still Ruin Colombia
Daniel RaisbeckLess than a  year ago, I wrote of the almost certain regret that awaited the prosperous, urban, multiple ‐​degree‐​holding types who voted for Gustavo Petro, Colombia’s Chavista president. They thought they had supported a Nordic‐​style social democrat—failing to notice that they had helped to elect a tropical socialist who, given his past as a guerrilla group member and Hugo Chávez supporter, was also a potential autocrat.Caveat emptor (or rathersuffragator) indeed. But I  never thought that voter’s remorse would set in so quickly. Or so extremely.According to poll data from June 1...

In an Ideal World, How Much Would We Spend on Health Care? – Part 1
BY BEN WHEATLEY We have heard it said before, and it is no longer shocking to say, that in 2021 the United States spent $4.3 trillion on health care. To put this gaudy number in some perspective, we measure it as a share of our economy and report that health care comprised 18.3% of our gross domestic product. CMS projects that health care will approach 20% of GDP in coming years—one-fifth of everything we buy and sell in this country.  In a recent report, the Health Affairs Council on Health Care Spending and Value said that “it is unclear what percentage of GDP would represent the ideal level to devote to healt...

Fast Facts about Medicare and Social Security
Romina Boccia and Dominik LettMedicare and Social Security are the two largest federal government programs that are also growing the fastest. They are fiscally unsustainable as currently structured. Medicare consists of four parts which provide inpatient care (Part A), outpatient care (Part B), prescription drug coverage (Part D), and subsidies for seniors to choose alternative health insurance providers through Medicare Advantage (Part C). Social Security consists of Old Age and Survivors Insurance (OASI) and Disability Insurance (DI). For the purposes of this fact sheet, Social Security will refer to OASI only. This fact...

Economics 101 continued
While the fictitious Free Market ™ fails to produce the purported paradise in general, the concept is glaringly absurd in the case of health care.* In the first place, asymmetrical information is part of the definition of the service -- the produce is expertise. If I knew everything my doctor knows, I wouldn ' t need one. In the second place, it has positive externalities that produce public goods. Infectious disease control is maybe the most obvious, but a healthier workforce, not having to watch people suffering and dying in the streets, † and fewer families psychologically burdened by premature loss are among the ma...

Emergency Spending Is on the Rise: Here ’s How Congress Can Stop It
Romina Boccia and Dominik LettCongress has spent a  combined $1 trillion through supplemental appropriations over the last five years in inflation‐​adjusted 2021 dollars. While most of the supplemental spending since 2020 was in response to COVID-19, supplemental appropriations are on the rise over the long term (chart below).Supplemental appropriations are primarily emergency spending that falls outside of regular budgeting procedures.

Sparking Rural Students ’ Interest in STEM
When asked why he leads the NIGMS-supported Science Education Partnership Award (SEPA) program at Dartmouth College in Hannover, New Hampshire, Roger D. Sloboda, Ph.D., the Ira Allen Eastman Professor of Biological Sciences (emeritus), shares a story. Several years ago, he learned of a public-school science teacher in rural New Hampshire who had a very limited budget for classroom equipment. With her annual budget, she’d been able to buy a single stainless-steel laboratory cart. “Next year, I hope to buy a piece of equipment to put on it,” she said. A short time later, Dr. Sloboda attended a scientific meeting and ta...

Promises Made – Promises Kept:   President Biden’s Support for “Obamacare.”
BY MIKE MAGEE As the saying goes, “History repeats!” This is especially true where politics are involved.  Consider for example the past three decades in health care. It is striking how many of the players in our nation’s health policy drama remain front and center. And that includes President Biden who recently commented on the 12th anniversary of the passage of the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare):  “The ACA delivered quality, affordable health coverage to more than 30 million Americans — giving families the freedom and confidence to pursue their dreams without the fear that one accident or il...

These 8 Countries Could Put Together The World ’ s Most Advanced Healthcare System
If we are looking for the one thing common in the healthcare systems in various countries, is that no one has ever been truly satisfied with their own. The level of satisfaction/dissatisfaction of course varies widely between countries and is closely related to the economic performance and possibilities available for the given country in the past centuries/decades. But as we will see, with having focus and working for the right goals, it is possible to fully transform a country and its healthcare in just a few decades. Can we, dreaming freely, come up with the perfect system? There are so many good examples all over the...
