Book Description
" Notable differences exist in the funding and operation of Medicaid and CHIP-joint federal-state health financing programs for low-income and medically needy individuals-in the territories versus the states. For example, the territories are subject to certain funding restrictions, such as capped annual federal funding, that are not applicable to the states. Further, certain federal requirements regarding eligibility, benefits, and program integrity do not apply to the territories' programs, and certain otherwise applicable requirements have not been enforced. In recent years, various laws-such as PPACA-have increased funding for Medicaid and CHIP in the territories. This report examines (1) eligibility and benefit characteristics of the territories' Medicaid and CHIP programs, (2) Medicaid and CHIP spending in the territories, and (3) Medicaid and CHIP program integrity efforts in the territories. GAO reviewed laws and regulations, data on five territories' Medicaid and CHIP spending, and federal internal control standards. GAO also interviewed CMS and territory Medicaid officials. "

Book Description
The decade ahead will test the nation's nearly 4 million nurses in new and complex ways. Nurses live and work at the intersection of health, education, and communities. Nurses work in a wide array of settings and practice at a range of professional levels. They are often the first and most frequent line of contact with people of all backgrounds and experiences seeking care and they represent the largest of the health care professions. A nation cannot fully thrive until everyone - no matter who they are, where they live, or how much money they make - can live their healthiest possible life, and helping people live their healthiest life is and has always been the essential role of nurses. Nurses have a critical role to play in achieving the goal of health equity, but they need robust education, supportive work environments, and autonomy. Accordingly, at the request of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, on behalf of the National Academy of Medicine, an ad hoc committee under the auspices of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine conducted a study aimed at envisioning and charting a path forward for the nursing profession to help reduce inequities in people's ability to achieve their full health potential. The ultimate goal is the achievement of health equity in the United States built on strengthened nursing capacity and expertise. By leveraging these attributes, nursing will help to create and contribute comprehensively to equitable public health and health care systems that are designed to work for everyone. The Future of Nursing 2020-2030: Charting a Path to Achieve Health Equity explores how nurses can work to reduce health disparities and promote equity, while keeping costs at bay, utilizing technology, and maintaining patient and family-focused care into 2030. This work builds on the foundation set out by The Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health (2011) report.
Competition and the Cost of Medicare's Prescription Drug Program

Pages : 48
Book Description
The Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act of 2003 (the Medicare Modernization Act, or MMA) substantially expanded the federal Medicare program by creating the prescription drug benefit known as Part D. In FY 2013, Medicare Part D covered 39 million people. The federal government spent $59 billion net of premiums on Part D in that year; after accounting for certain payments from states under the program, the net federal cost was $50 billion, which represented 10% of net federal spending for Medicare. A combination of broader trends in the prescription drug market and lower-than-expected enrollment in Part D has contributed to much lower spending for the program than projected when the MMA became law in 2003. This report examines the federal budgetary cost and competitive design of Medicare Part D and compares Medicare Part D and Medicaid Fee for Service. Figures and tables. This is a print on demand report.
