16 Trend in the Number of Uninsured, Under Current Law and Sen. Baucus and House Tri-Committee Proposals Millions Current law Sen. Baucus' Chairman's Mark as Amended House Proposal Note: The uninsured includes unauthorized immigrants. With unauthorized immigrants excluded from the calculation, nearly 94% and 97% of legal nonelderly residents are projected to have insurance under the Senate Finance and House proposal, respectively.

19 Overall Findings 19 Possible to extend affordable insurance to all and improve health outcomes and cost performance Insurance reforms would enhance access, choice, continuity and lower premiums Insurance, payment, and system reforms could slow spending growth Families and businesses would spend less compared to current projections Savings accrue across all income groups Savings partially offset federal costs of investing in insurance and system reforms Critical to start now: policies interact over time A comprehensive approach is essential
20 Historic Opportunity for Change 20 The U.S. has a historic opportunity to adopt reforms that will achieve a high performance health system; we can t afford to continue on our current course Goals of stable and secure coverage for all are achievable; requires one-time shift in federal budget to assist uninsured and underinsured Slowing growth in total health spending and Medicare outlays is achievable Investing in primary care Rapid cycle testing of innovative payment reforms to reward quality and value Productivity improvement Correcting market price signals: Medicare Advantage, Rx Choice and competition: public/co-op plan; limits on plan premium growth Harmonization of private and public payment methods Independent commission Budget-neutrality is achievable through combination of cost-containment and new revenues Oversight and system of tracking performance will be needed
