A Modest Proposal for a Competing Public Health Plan
Len Nichols and
John M. Bertko authored a new policy paper released by the
New America Foundation, March 2009.
Information was studied from more than 30 state governments that offer employees a choice between traditional private health insurance products and a plan self-insured by the state. Also studied was information on the historic competition between public and private plans in both the Medicare program and California Public Employees Retirement System (CALPERS). The authors believe that public plans can compete fairly with private plans if the rules of the insurance marketplace apply to all plans and the public plan does not have unfair advantages and perverse incentives.
Brief summary of the policy paper is available here.
Full text of the policy paper is available here.
