American Model is a peculiar mixture
![Page 4: American health policy](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022070513/58890d8a1a28ab4a5c8b52a1/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Medicare(National Health Insurance Model)
• Covers the elderly (ages 65 and older) and non-elderly with disabilities
• Administered by the federal government (essentially a single-payer system … more on this in the future)
• Financed through:– Federal income taxes– Payroll taxes on employers and employees– Out-of-pocket payments by enrollees
![Page 5: American health policy](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022070513/58890d8a1a28ab4a5c8b52a1/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Medicaid(Limited Beverage Model)
• Covers certain low-income individuals (pregnant, children, elderly, disabled)– Not every poor person is covered!
• Administered by state governments• Financed jointly by the state and federal
governments• Benefits are fairly comprehensive, but many
providers won’t take care of Medicaid patients– Low reimbursement rates
![Page 6: American health policy](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022070513/58890d8a1a28ab4a5c8b52a1/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
State Children’s Health Insurance Program (S-CHIP) (Limited Beverage Model)
• 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

Other Public Insurance Programs(Beverage Model)
• Veterans Health Administration– Health benefits plan available to all veterans – Services delivered through VA health care
facilities– Financed by the federal government
• Native American Indian Health Service
