Measuring the Budget Impact of Nondiscriminatory Cost-Effectiveness
This economic evaluation found that although GRACE does increase value-based prices on average, the net effect on total health care spent is minimal, in part because resources are redistributed toward more severe, less prevalent illnesses
Calcimimetic Prescriptions in Fee-for-Service Medicare Beneficiaries Undergoing Dialysis
The results of this longitudinal cohort study showed that after transitioning calcimimetic coverage from Part D to Part B via TDAPA, calcimimetic prescriptions increased in a graded manner, with the largest increases experienced by patients previously subject to the highest out-of-pocket prescription drug costs. Medicare's TDAPA policy has the potential to expand access to medications for patients
Does Medicare Coverage Improve Cancer Detection and Mortality Outcomes
Medicare is a large government health insurance program in the United States that covers about 60 million people. This paper analyzes the effects of Medicare insurance on health for a group of people in urgent need of medical care: people with cancer. We used a regression discontinuity design to assess impacts of near-universal Medicare insurance at age 65 on cancer detection and outcomes, using population-based cancer registries and vital statis…
Health, Body Weight, and Obesity
The rise in obesity has generated enormous concern among policy makers and the general public. Economists have focused on explaining the causes of this rise, along with the attendant implications for public policy. This chapter summarizes the economic literature on the theory of weight determination, including the optimal determination of food intake and exercise, and the influence of prices and peer effects. In addition, the chapter reviews the …
Annual Expenditures for Nursing Home Care
Background: Long-term nursing home care is primarily funded by out-of-pocket payments and public Medicaid programs. Few studies have explored price growth in nursing home care, particularly trends in the real cost of a year spent in a nursing home. Objectives: To evaluate changes in private and public prices for annual nursing home care from 1977 to 2004, and to compare nursing home price growth to overall price growth and growth in the price of …
Is nursing home demand affected by the decline in age difference between spouses
We investigate whether declines in the age difference between spouses has influenced widowhood and nursing home demand. We first use life-table methods to simulate the impact of the declining age gap on the risk of widowhood. We then use the Medicare
