Uwe Reinhardt: A Modest Proposal For Healthcare Reform • Section 1001: No later than January 14, 2011, all Americans are mandated to become Mormons and, henceforth, live like Mormons. • Section 2001: On December 31, 2013, the entire U.S. health system will be sold in a leveraged buyout to Utah’s Intermountain Healthcare. Goldman Sachs will help Intermountain finance the purchase with a U.S. government-guaranteed debt issue floated in Shanghai, China.

A Remarkable Series of Events Allowed the Senate Win on Christmas Eve. • Democrats gained 9 Senate seats (given that only about 1/3 of Senators are up for election on any given cycle, this is a remarkable swing). Even Democratic optimists only predicted a 7 seat gain • Ted Stevens (R) lost under unusual circumstance in a very conservative state • Al Franken’s (D) very tight win • Etc.

What’s In The Bill: Insurance Individual mandate Premium and cost-sharing subsidies Employer responsibility “Guaranteed Issue” Insurance exchange Expand Medicaid/CHIP Payment reform

What’s In The Bill: Delivery Generate comparative effectiveness research Create “Independent Payment Advisory Board” Enhance Medicare primary care payment by 10% Reduce other Medicare payments Develop approaches to enhanced quality evaluation and reporting Dramatically modify Medicare Advantage payment Payment reform pilots for Medicare Medical Home Bundled Payment Accountable Care Organization
Payment Reform – Accountable Care Organizations • Allow providers to organize as accountable care organizations (2012) • Accountable care organizations are groups of physicians and other providers that take responsibility for all of a patient’s needs • For Medicare purposes, accountable care organizations only “share” savings (they are not premium or capitation based entities) • These must meet organization, quality and scope of coverage requirements
Accountable Care Organization Requirements • Take overall accountability for quality, cost and overall care for individuals • Make a 3-year commitment to participate • Have a formal legal structure to accept and distribute savings • Have adequate primary care coverage to serve the assigned population (5,000 beneficiaries minimum) • Adequate additional professionals • Leadership and systems (clinical and administrative) in place • Provide evidence based medicine; report quality and cost; coordinate care • Demonstrate “patient-centeredness”
Worry Beads – Potential Unintended Consequences • Likely increase in the uninsured population for the next 5 years • Insurance mandates (penalties) phase in between 2014 and 2016 • Guaranteed issue becomes effective this year for children, and in 2014 for everyone • The option to join later may lead some to choose to drop insurance now (life insurance analogy) • A subsidized national high risk pool (in effect 2010-2014) in the intermediate term may also encourage some current recipients to discontinue insurance • Small employers (under 50) are not required to offer insurance; this could lead to current small employers dropping coverage – impacting both number of uninsured and subsidy expense • Part-time workers are excluded from mandates; this could have unintended consequences in employment
Worry Beads – Potential Unintended Consequences (continued) • Probable increase in insurance premiums in the short term • Elimination and modification of lifetime and annual coverage limits • Additional coverage of preventive services (first dollar) • Eliminate certain preexisting condition exclusions (children and some adults) • Limits on insurance “profits” may reduce incentives to invest and innovate. Combined with “rate increase review,” this may limit insurer participation or expansion • IT incentives are not aligned with our vision of what is most important to maximize value • Possible harm to the most efficient states and organizations if implementation mechanisms focus on across-the-board reductions
