The
Patient
Protection
and
AffordableCare
ActThis
legislation
was
highly
controversial
and
passedthrough
Congress
with
a
very
slim
margin
in
a
strictlypartisan
vote
(no
Republicans
voted
for
it).
The
right
worried
that
the
law
would
lead
to
restrictepatient
choice
and
a
bloated
government
bureaucracy.
Those
on
the
left
believed
that
this
proposalrepresented
a
retreat
from
the
government-runsingle-payer
system
that
might
more
efficientlyexpand
coverage
and
control
costs.C

EvidenceCost-Effectivenesso
It

roughly

million

This
is
much
lowerthan
the
cost
of
many

designed

such
as

Costs
Relative
to

the
Medicareprogram
has
fairly
high
copayments
and
deductiblesand
a
relatively
lean
benefits
package.
This
greatly
lowers
the

valueof
Medicare
since
there
is
still
some
risk
of
very
highmedical
expenditures
if

This

relative

The
Medicare
Prescription
DrugDebate
In
1965,
Medicare
covered
hospital
and
doctor
costs,but
it
excluded
coverage
for
prescription
drugs.Drugs
not
very
important
in
1965.Today
they
are
used
to
treat
many
common conditions.
Democrats
wanted
government-provided
druginsurance
to
negotiate
prices
with
drug
companies.
Republicans
wanted
to
subsidize
private
druginsurance,
to
avoid
adverse
selection.

a
bill
that
followed
this
approach.C

5316.4Problems
with
PPSWhy
didn’t
the
PPS
solve
the
long-run
cost
growthproblems
of
the
Medicare
program?
Medicare
was
paying
a
fixed
price
per
diagnosis,
butthe
choice
of
a
diagnosis
is
something
the
hospital
hasome
control
over
when
patients
are
admitted.There
was
a
large
increase
in
reported
severity
ofadmission
diagnoses
for
the
elderly
around
the
time
ofPPS!
Almost
half
of
the
DRG
designations
are
based
notpurely
on
diagnosis
but
also
on
the
actual
treatmentused
for
the
patient.
It
reimburses
hospitals
per
admission,
providingincentive
to

An
unintended
effect
of
moving

for
hospitalswas
a
shift
toward
more
use
of
other
types
of
facilitiethat
were
exempt
from

Long-term

have
become
the
fastestgrowing
and
highest-paid
providers
of
post-acute
care[care
delivered
after
hospitalization]
in
the

Part
of
this
growth
was
fueled
by
the
implementationof
PPS,
which
exempted
these
types
of
providers,creating

todischarge
