Medicaid and Medicare Reforms in the Affordable Health Care for America Act

Prohibitions on cost-sharing and limits on charges for preventive services, in particular, would be extended to both Medicaid and Medicare. Changes to Medicare would decrease the cost of prescription drugs for certain seniors, permit the federal government to negotiate the price Medicare pays for these drugs, improve the delivery of care by incentivizing more efficient treatment, and eliminate overpayments to Medicare Advantage, a program of private health plans that receive payments from Medicare.
