AmeriCare-Choice Setting a Course Toward Universal Health Care Bobby Peterson, ABC for Health June 2009

What is AmeriCare-Choice? Comprehensive health reform plan Affordable coverage to all Americans Builds on the strength of public & private interests

What is AmeriCare-Choice? Large-scale pooling Public/private partnerships Accountability & Consumer protections Patient Advocacy and Outreach

AmeriCare-Choice Highlights: Builds from the existing Medicaid structure Expands eligibility to 300% FPL Offers buy-in option for employers and individuals.

AmeriCare-Choice Highlights: Creates broad risk pools instead of hundreds of small risk “puddles” Greater purchasing power = better benefits Streamlined administration cuts costs

Financing AmeriCare-Choice: Combine government, private and consumer dollars. Private health insurance companies compete for business with the states Employers and individuals pay premiums and cost-sharing

AmeriCare-Choice: Protecting Consumers Maintains due process rights Health Benefits Counselors assist in appeals, hearings, legal action Federal/State oversight system stays in place Local HealthWatch Coalitions add local focus, emphasize key issues

Why AmeriCare-Choice? AmeriCare-Choice builds on what works Eliminates need for enormous front- end costs No employer mandates—join by incentive

Why AmeriCare-Choice? Avoids political battles over benefits Follows ideal of progressive incrementalism Preserves consumer choice, cut costs and expands coverage.
