Reuters June 15, 2012: U.S. agency urges new charge for Medicare patients Like it or not, change is coming and I think relatively fast and this is whether or not the ACA survives. This seems to be a balanced approach - beneficiaries having more skin in the game upfront but yet a cap on annual out of pocket. But what can we do for those whom the government is paying it all under the extra-help category or being a dual eligible? I still don't understand the difference in MEDPAC (been around a long time) and the IPAB (as established by the ACA). The main difference as I see it is that the IPAB setup has a bit more clout but how much more, I don't know. Seems these are the type recommendations both groups of government appointed recommenders would be making to control cost in Medicare and Medicaid. I also wonder if changes such as this come about, if more beneficiaries would go the MA route? What do you think? |
