15 Pre-ACA US Health System Care s Changing ACA System Paradigms Fee for service Pay for performance No underlying system ethos beyond professional autonomy and licensure Where Are We Going? Fee for Value Pay for Outcomes Accountable Care and The IHI Triple Aim to: Improve patient experience of care Lower per capita costs Improve population health 15
16 2. Not So Good News 20 states struggling to expand Medicaid Inadequate support for the hard work of access expansion Growing recognition that the Affordable Care Act is not affordable enough Urban Institute Premiums and Cost Sharing Political threats not over continuing lawsuits, 2016 federal elections Much more money for opponents than for ACA supporters on political mobilization Don t believe the silence on ACA in debates
17 State Medicaid Expansion Decisions 17
18 ACA Title Covered (#M) ACA Financial/Coverage Impacts: vs $ Spent ($B) $ Raised /Saved ($B) 1. Private Sector Coverage 16/10 $509 $833 $80.6 $ Medicaid/CHIP 16/14 $458.8 $824 $52.7 $66 3.

20 The Growing Cost Sharing Culture in US Health Care
21 CBO Net Estimates of ACA Coverage Costs
22 Urban Institute Recommendations Improve premium tax credits and cost-sharing reductions i.e.: Move Silver from 70% to 80% actuarial value Ease access to marketplace financial assistance for those affected by the family glitch Allow states the option to expand Medicaid to 100 percent of the federal poverty level instead of 138 percent Increase federal grants for information technology development and operation; education, outreach, and enrollment activities; and oversight and enforcement of insurance regulations
23 Still a Sharp Partisan Divide over the ACA
24 Consider: What if ACA Opponents Really Mean Full Repeal? Congress getting ready to move legislation to repeal key parts of the ACA for the 61 st time 1 st time possible to reach Obama s desk» Reconciliation bill would eliminate coverage for 14 million covered lives including 3 million children according to the CBO Every Republican Presidential Candidate has publicly endorsed ACT repeal» Candidate Jeb Bush! promises a transition plan for the 17 million who would lose their current coverage under his plan with zero details The Republican base still overwhelmingly backs repeal and demands that commitment from candidates How inconceivable is it that in January 2017, Republicans control the White House, the Senate, and the House of Representatives? How would they do it? Think: $879 billion
25 Knowledge of ACA Increases Its Favorability Source: Wendy Gross et al: Americans Attitudes Toward the Affordable Care Act
26 4. Hope for the Future The entire history of the ACA has been surviving one near-death experience after another Scott Brown election in January 2010 NFIB v. Sebelius, King v. Burwell 2012 federal elections Universal health insurance is a global movement picking up steam new World Bank report highlights 24 nations We/you are all part of a movement the health justice movement The delivery system reforms are not just concerns within the USA this is a global movement toward paying for value and pursuing the Triple Aim
27 ACA & disparities/inequities, Mental health, women, more Cong. Jim Clyburn: the Civil Rights Act of the 21 st century More than half of U.S. uninsured are non-white and lower income Mental Health: the largest expansion of behavioral health coverage in a generation Sebelius Women s Health: greatest advance for women s health in a generation National Partnership for W&F Addiction-Substance Abuse: I don t think there s another illness that will be more affected by the ACA. McClellan Disability: The ACA undeniably changes the paradigm for working-age people with disabilities, who now do not need to choose between healthcare and a job. B. Otto 27
