High-Deductible Health Plans After controlling for inflation and demographic changes, the researchers found that the deductible reduced overall employee health care spending by about 13 percent annually, and that some of the services consumers elected to forgo were "likely of high value in terms of health and potential to avoid future costs." http://www.nber.org/digest/dec15/deductible.jpg

November 8, 2016 If the ACA goes away, the individual and small group markets could collapse or at least go back to ex-ante (underwriting, high-risk pools). Ryan has wanted to move Medicare to a defined contribution plan for a long time. This would open a lot of opportunity for Medicare Advantage plans. If CMMI goes away, so do ACO s. MACRA is separate bipartisan legislation, and may or may not be impacted. Medicaid block grants (over 33% cuts; state deficit spending)? Infrastructure Spending, Tax Cuts, and Health Spending?

Baseline Spending (Quarter) $2456 ACO Results Year 1 of the Pioneer ACO program was associated with modest reductions in Medicare spending. McWilliams. NEJM 2015 The first full year of MSSP contracts was associated with early reductions in Medicare spending among 2012 entrants but not among 2013 entrants. Savings were greater in independent primary care groups than in hospital-integrated groups. McWilliams.

Payment: Volume to Value
Movement to Value Our goal is to have 85% of all Medicare fee-for-service payments tied to quality or value by 2016, and 90% by 2018. Perhaps even more important, our target is to have 30% of Medicare payments tied to quality or value through alternative payment models by the end of 2016, and 50% of payments by the end of 2018.
