Scenario: Joe Babbitt, a former executive of T-Mart, just started a term as mayor of Saulk Center. For the past several days, he has been looking for a way to keep his campaign promise to increase services without raising taxes or service charges. While lunching at the country club with the treasurer of T-Mart, the subject of a recent sale and leaseback of one of T-Mart’s stores came up. Following a common practice in retailing, T-Mart had erected a building and sold it to an investor. It then signed a long-term lease on the building. “Bingo! That’s it,” thought Mayor Babbitt. “We can sell several of the city’s buildings—as well as police cars, fire engines, and other vehicles—to investors and lease them back. That will give us the revenues we desperately need. Now I can concentrate on fighting crime.” Question: Do you agree with Mayor Babbitt?

The ACA paid for its coverage expansion with Medicare savings (payment cuts and reforms) and taxes on higher income people. In the long run, the hope is that Medicare savings from payment reforms will increase their share of the financing burden. This will serve to keep all taxes – income and Medicare-specific taxes -- lower than they would otherwise be. Unfortunately, one of the most prominent payment reforms, the shared savings version of accountable care organizations, has been shown to cost Medicare more than it saved, at least through 2016. This was primarily because: a. Less than 1/3 of Medicare beneficiaries chose to be in an ACO b. It takes at least 7 years to save money with payment reforms in health care c. Shared savings with no downside risk impart weak incentives to control total cost of care d. Primary care is the key to saving health care spending and ACOs mostly ignored primary care
