Confronting the Trade-Offs in Health Reform: What We Learned from the ACA
Clifford Marks, Janet Weiner, and Daniel Polsky, in Health Affairs [Opinion] June 8, 2017 "Regardless of the form of financing or benefits, health care coverage is expensive because health care is expensive. Ultimately, the key to affordable coverage for all remains cost containment.... The AHCA has no provisions that address the high cost of health care; instead; it converts Medicaid into a block grant to limit federal obligations, leaving the states holding the cost containment bag for Medicaid. Similarly, the AHCA allows states to request waivers from many of the ACA's benefit provisions but does not help states containing costs other than by reducing coverage. The challenge of 'bending the cost curve' remains." |
