Cost and Coverage Estimates for the "Healthy Americans Act"

December 2006

Lewin contact: John Sheils

The “Healthy Americans Act” (HAA) establishes a centrally financed system of private health insurance for all Americans not covered by Medicare, that is at least as comprehensive as the coverage provided to members of Congress. Employers give the money they now spend for health insurance to the worker as wages. Participants would chose from a selection of private plans offered through regional purchasing pools called “Health Help Agencies” (HHA's) on the basis of price. The competitive incentives created under the bill would reduce health spending by about 4.5 percent over the next 10 years.
