How to Pay for Public Option Without Tax Hike
By: Regina E. Herzlinger and Richard Boxer
Abstract
A “Public Option” for health insurance that uses Medicare provider pricing and is administered by private insurers whose overall pricing conforms to GAAP will attain important, bi-partisan goals. For the Democrats, its lower costs will enable enrollment of the self–insured and the many uninsured employees of SMEs, while, for the Republicans, its pay-as-you-go pricing will avoid exacerbating Medicare’s massive deficits.
