Moose Call: Cutting Benefits in Medicare: Truth or Fiction?
http://msapr.blogspot.com/2009/10/cutting-benefits-in-medicare-truth-or.html
Wednesday, October 7, 2009. Cutting Benefits in Medicare: Truth or Fiction? The short answer is yes, at least for some beneficiaries who are enrolled in Medicare Advantage plans, which are private insurance company plans that receive Medicare dollars to deliver a package of benefits to replace Medicare Part A and Part B. One of the most signficant sources of savings in both the House and Senate bills is stems from changes in payments to Medicare Advantage plans. Posted by MSA Partners at 9:25 AM.

Moose Call: Threading the Needle
http://msapr.blogspot.com/2009/11/threading-needle.html
Thursday, November 5, 2009. One possible result would be that relatively young and healthy Americans who currently lack health insurance would choose not to participate in the insurance exchange, so that the insurance pool would consist of relatively unhealthy Americans with higher healthcare costs, thereby driving up average premium costs. As average premium costs rise, even fewer healthier Americans would choose to participate. Posted by MSA Partners at 4:39 PM. Subscribe to Post Comments [ Atom.

Friday, October 16, 2009. Billy Tauzin’s $80 Billion Deal. What is the composition of the $80 billion? While the precise breakdown has not been disclosed, we can make very rough estimates based on the main provisions in the Baucus bill that reduce pharmaceutical company revenues. Adding these four components together results in a total burden to the pharmaceutical industry over 10 years of $90 billion, $10 billion more than the $80 billion pledged by PhRMA’s Billy Tauzin.
