What is Medicaid ? (in the US)
In the United States, Medicaid is a government program that provides health insurance for adults and children with limited income and resources. The program is partially funded and primarily managed by state governments. Medicaid was established in 1965 and was significantly expanded by the Affordable Care Act (ACA), which was passed in 2010.
What is the Affordable Care Act (ACA) ?
The Affordable Care Act (ACA), colloquially known as Obamacare, represents the U.S. healthcare system’s most significant regulatory overhaul and expansion of coverage since the enactment of Medicare and Medicaid in 1965.
By 2016, the uninsured share of the population had roughly halved, with estimates ranging from 20 to 24 million additional people covered.
The law also enacted a host of delivery system reforms intended to constrain healthcare costs and improve quality.
The increased coverage was due, roughly equally, to an expansion of Medicaid eligibility and to changes to individual insurance markets. Both received new spending, funded through a combination of new taxes and cuts to Medicare provider rates and Medicare Advantage.
The act largely retained the existing structure of Medicare, Medicaid, and the employer market, but individual markets were radically overhauled. Insurers were made to accept all applicants without charging based on preexisting conditions or demographic status (except age).
Qu’est-ce que l’Obamacare ?
La loi sur les soins abordables (Affordable Care Act, ACA), connue familièrement sous le nom d’Obamacare, représente la révision réglementaire et l’extension de la couverture les plus importantes du système de santé américain depuis l’adoption de Medicare et Medicaid en 1965.
En 2016, la part de la population non assurée avait pratiquement diminué de moitié, les estimations allant de 20 à 24 millions de personnes supplémentaires couvertes.
La loi a également mis en place une série de réformes des systèmes de prestation visant à limiter les coûts des soins de santé et à en améliorer la qualité.
L’augmentation de la couverture est due, à parts à peu près égales, à l’élargissement de l’éligibilité à Medicaid et aux changements apportés aux marchés de l’assurance individuelle. Tous deux ont bénéficié de nouvelles dépenses, financées par une combinaison de nouveaux impôts et de réductions des tarifs des prestataires de Medicare et de Medicare Advantage.
La loi a largement conservé la structure existante de Medicare, Medicaid et du marché des employeurs, mais les marchés individuels ont été radicalement remaniés. Les assureurs sont tenus d’accepter tous les candidats sans appliquer de tarifs basés sur les conditions préexistantes ou le statut démographique (à l’exception de l’âge).
