Where noteworthy, the effect on non-FQHC community clinics is also discussed. The implications of Medicaid coverage expansions (or lack thereof in states that choose not to expand), Medicaid disproportionate …

Community Health Workers: A Front Line For Primary Care?, Lisa Sprague
National Health Policy Forum
Among the potential changes invoked in discussions on health system transformation, a need to revitalize primary care remains paramount.

Recent Proposals To Limit Medigap Coverage And Modify Medicare Cost Sharing, Kathryn Linehan
Recent Proposals To Limit Medigap Coverage And Modify Medicare Cost Sharing, Kathryn Linehan
National Health Policy Forum
As policymakers look for savings from the Medicare program, some have proposed eliminating or discouraging “first-dollar coverage” available through privately purchased Medigap policies.

It is estimated that eliminating such coverage, which has been shown to be associated with higher Medicare spending, and requiring some cost sharing would encourage beneficiaries to reduce their service use and thus reduce program spending. However, eliminating first-dollar coverage could …
