32、sponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.Reform and Medical CostsA Americans are deeply concerned about the relentless rise in health care costs and health insurance premiums.They need to know if reform will help solve the problem.The answer is that no one has an easy fix for rising medicalcosts.The fundam
33、ental fixreshaping how care is delivered and how doctors are paid in a wasteful,abnormalsystemis likely to be achieved only through trial and error and incremental(渐进的)gains.B The good news is that a bill just approved by the House and a bill approved by the Senate Finance Committeewould implement o
34、r test many reforms that should help slow the rise in medical costs over the long term.As a reportin The New England Journal of Medicine concluded,“Pretty much every proposed innovation found in the healthpolicy Iiterature these days is contained in these measures.”C Medical spending,which typically
35、 rises faster than wages and the overall economy,is propelled by two things:the high prices charged for medical services in this country and the volume of unnecessary care delivered by doctorsand hospitals,which often perform a lot more tests and treatments than a patient really needs.D Here are som
36、e of the important proposals in the House and Senate bills to try to address those problems,andwhy it is hard to know how well they will work.E Both bills would reduce the rate of growth in annual Medicare payments to hospitals,nursing homes and otherproviders by amounts comparable to the productivi
37、ty savings routinely made in other industries with the help of newtechnologies and new ways to organize work.This proposal could save Medicare more than$100 billion over thenext decade.If private plans demanded similar productivity savings from providers,and refused to let providers shiftadditional
38、costs to them,the savings could be much larger.Critics say Congress will give in to lobbyists and letinefficient providers off the hook(放过).That is far less likely to happen if Congress also adopts strong“pay-go”rules requiring that any increase in payments to providers be offset by new taxes or bud
39、get cuts.F The Senate Finance bill would impose an excise tax(消费税)on health insurance plans that cost more than$8,000 for an individual or$21,000 for a family.It would most likely cause insurers to redesign plans to fall beneaththe threshold.Enrollees would have to pay more money for many services o
40、ut of their own pockets,and that wouldencourage them to think twice about whether an expensive or redundant test was worth it.Economists project thatmost employers would shift money from expensive health benefits into wages,The House bill has no similar tax.Thefinal legislation should.G Any doctor w
41、ho has wrestled with multiple forms from different insurers,or patients who have tried tounderstand their own parade of statements,know that simplification ought to save money.When the health insuranceindustry was still cooperating in reform efforts,its trade group offered to provide standardized fo
42、rms for automatedprocessing.It estimated that step would save hundreds of billions of dollars over the next decade.The bills wouldlock that pledge into law.H The stimulus package provided money to convert the inefficient,paper-driven medical system to electronicrecords that can be easily viewed and
43、transmitted.This requires open investments to help doctors convert.In time itshould help restrain costs by eliminating redundant tests,preventing drug interactions,and helping doctors find thebest treatments.I Virtually all experts agree that the fee-for-servicesystemdoctors are rewarded for the qua
44、ntity of care ratherthan its quality or effectivenessis a primary reason that the cost of care is so high.Most agree that the solution is topush doctors to accept fixed payments to care for a particular illness or for a patients needs over a year.No oneknows how to make that happen quickly.The bills
45、 in both houses would start pilot projects within Medicare.Theyinclude such measures as accountable care organizations to take charge of a patients needs with an eye on both costand quality,and chronic disease management to make sure the seriously ill,who are responsible for the bulk of allhealth ca
46、re costs,are treated properly.For the most part,these experiments rely on incentive payments to get doctorsto try them.J Testing innovations do no good unless the good experiments are identified and expanded and the bad ones aredropped.The Senate bill would create an independent commission to monito
47、r the pilot programs and recommendchanges in Medicares payment policies to urge providers to adopt reforms that work.The changes would have to beapproved or rejected as a whole by Congress,making it hard for narrow-interest lobbies to bend lawmakers to theirwill.K The bills in both chambers would cr
48、eate health insurance exchanges on which small businesses and individualscould choose from an array of private plans and possibly a public option.All the plans would have to providestandard benefit packages that would be easy to compare.To get access to millions of new customers,insurers wouldhave a
49、 strong incentive to sell on the exchange.And the head-to-headcompetition might give them a strong incentiveto lower their prices,perhaps by accepting slimmer profit margins or demanding better deals from providers.L The final legislation might throw a public plan into the competition,but thanks to
50、the fierce opposition of theinsurance industry and Republican critics,it might not save much money.The one in the House bill would have tonegotiate rates with providers,rather than using Medicare rates,as many reformers wanted.M The presidents stimulus package is pumping money into research to compa
