Employer-sponsored insurance
Offered by employers as part of benefits
package
Administered by private insurance companies (for-profit and non-profit)
Employer pays
bulk of premium; employee pays remainder
Significant erosion of employer-sponsored insurance in recent years
Слайд 5
Individual insurance
Purchased directly by people who do not
get coverage through their employers
Non-group (individual) plans
Premiums based on
individual health risk
High-risk individuals with limited access
Administratively expensive
Слайд 6
Medicare
Covers elderly (ages 65 and older) and non-elderly
with disabilities
Administered by the federal government (essentially a single-payer
system)
Financed through:
Federal income taxes
Payroll taxes
Out-of-pocket payments by enrollees
Слайд 7
Medicare
Four parts:
Part A – hospital insurance
Part B
– supplemental insurance
Part C – managed care
Part D –
prescription drugs
Significant coverage gaps - most enrollees obtain supplemental insurance
Spending growth generally slower than private insurance
Aging population and increased technology presents challenges for the future
Слайд 8
Medicaid
Covers certain low-income individuals; not every poor person
is covered!
Administered by state governments
Often out-sourced to non-government administrators
Financed
jointly by the state and federal governments
Benefits are fairly comprehensive, but many providers won’t take care of Medicaid patients
Слайд 9
State Children’s Health Insurance Program (S-CHIP)
Supplements Medicaid by
covering low-income children who are ineligible for Medicaid
Administered and
financed similarly to Medicaid
Similar problems to Medicaid:
Low reimbursement rates → some providers refuse to accept S-CHIP
Under-enrollment
Eligibility varies by specific populations and states
