Reform Medicaid First: Laying the Foundation for National Health Care Reform

As Congress contemplates major revisions to America's health care system, two leading health economists warn that significant differences among state Medicaid programs will hinder national health care reform. Download Reform Medicaid First medical books for free.
Thomas W. Grannemann and Mark V. Pauly argue that Medicaid will need to be reformed as an early step in any serious health care reform effort. While states such as Mississippi and Nevada spend as little as $5,000 per poor person annually, New York and Alaska annually spend more than $15,000 per Medicaid patient. Large differences remain even after correcting for cost-of-living and medical-price differences. This imbalance among states creates an uneven and unstable foundation for any national program to address the needs of uninsured Americans.
