This _Insight on the Issues_ summarizes the key findings from a new Urban Institute research report examining a proposed Medicare reform that would significantly change the program for
people with Medicare. The Urban report offers important insights into how transforming Medicare to a “premium support” system would work in practice—and how it would adversely affect people
with Medicare. The report—_Restructuring Medicare: The False Promise of Premium Support_ by Robert A. Berenson, Laura Skopec, and Stephen Zuckerman—was funded by the AARP Public Policy
Institute. The Urban Institute report shows that premium support would put numerous people with Medicare at risk for high out-of-pocket expenses. Many people would be forced for
affordability reasons to enroll in a plan they would not otherwise choose. With premium support, individuals would also have fewer options for their health insurance coverage, compared to
what is available now through private Medicare Advantage plans and traditional Medicare. In some locations, traditional Medicare would likely be affordable only for people with higher
incomes. In other locations, private plans would likely no longer be available.
