Medicare's Lessons for Health Reform

Thu, 02 Apr 2009 18:57:01 GMT

http://www.americanprogressaction.org/issues/2009/03/public_plan.html The Medicare program has successfully offered health insurance coverage to all Americans over age 65, as well as many people with disabilities, for more than 40 years. While the health reform debate has focused on changes to the health insurance market to offer a choice of private and public health plans, and Medicare exemplifies a universal, public approach to coverage, Medicare nevertheless offers a number of key lessons for health reform. According to a paper by Marilyn Moon, which will be released at the event, Medicare's successes and its shortcomings highlight promising directions and potential pitfalls for the nation's latest effort to control health care costs and provide affordable coverage for all. Featured Panelists: Marilyn Moon, Vice President and Director of the Health Program, American Institutes for Research Tom Scully, Senior Counsel, Alston & Bird Bruce Vladeck, Executive Director, Health Sciences Advisory Services, Ernst & Young Discussion Moderated by: Karen Davenport, Director of Health Policy, Center for American Progress
