Adding a prescription drug benefit to Medicare: an analysis of the Medicare Prescription Drug, improvement, and modernization act of 2003Jones, Carla D. 09 1900 (has links)
Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited. / The Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act of 2003 added an outpatient prescription drug benefit to Medicare. This benefit had been a recurring topic among lawmakers, attempted many times since Medicare was enacted in 1965. The 2003 legislation marked the most significant and expensive overhaul of Medicare since its creation. It occurred at a time of record federal budget deficits and Republican control of Congress and the White House. The major compromise that allowed this legislation to succeed concerned the total funding to be made available, the amount of privatization in the design and administration of the benefit, and the scope of the coverage. This thesis identifies and describes the primary stakeholders involved and their influences on the benefit, including political parties, Congress, the Bush Administration and interest groups, and summarizes previous attempts at similar legislation. Sources include congressional testimony, government cost estimates, legislation, journal articles, and think-tanks. The thesis analyzes the legislative process that produced the Medicare reform and identifies problems and issues resulting from it. / Lieutenant, United States Navy

The cost of dying on Medicare: an analysis of expenditure dataHouse, Donald Reed 01 November 2005 (has links)
Roughly one third of Medicare expenditures are made on behalf of beneficiaries in
their terminal year, though only five percent of the Medicare-covered population dies
annually. Per-capita spending on decedents is as much as six times the level of spending
on survivors. The demographic, technological and political trends that will determine the
future path of spending on terminal-year beneficiaries have important implications for the
fiscal well-being of the Medicare program, and by extension, the American taxpayer.
Coming to an understanding of the moving parts that will control the path of the cost of
dying on Medicare is vital for careful consideration of Medicare??s future, and for any
discussions about further reform of the program. Analysis of expenditures in the terminal
year must be made while keeping in mind the fact that major expenditures are often made
in surviving years. The spike in spending in the terminal period rightly focuses attention to
expenditures near death, but also we should proceed in its analysis keeping in mind that it
is not the only spell of elevated medical spending for a typical individual. Given those
cautions, however, the cost of dying on Medicare stands as an important area of economic
inquiry and policy consideration. As total Medicare expenditures top a quarter trillion
dollars, the third of that spending which covers treatments in beneficiaries?? terminal years
ought to be understood more fully than it is currently.
